 enough about how racist we all secretly are deep down,
	enough about how racist we all secretly are deep down, Organ Donors. Someone on the TV was saying that (i think it was in wales) they are going to start an opt-out of donation scheme, rather than opt in.
The only argument against it was from a priest or bishop or some such who said it would be unfair, and that what if someone had died and the family didnt like the idea of donation? The counter point being of course, well, if the person cared enough, they'd opt out.
Anyway, What do you reckon?
Alt: A friend of mine recently donated a kidney, the trade off being that in the future, if he or a family member need an organ, they would get a bump up the list, would you?

 Quotes.
	Quotes."Can we have some honesty please. The whole NHSD Exec. and Non-Exec. team signed up to unrealistic Operating Model assumptions. Getting Deloitte to write inconclusive reports, sacking MDs and disciplining others is just face-saving by the Chair and NEDs."
@ anon 6.38am
no, the whole team did not sign up to the model, as the full extent of it was not shared with the whole team, much was kept from them. the sales team then took it further by promising commisioners something that wasnt sold, wasnt bought, and wasnt what the model was based on. all quite clearly laid out if you care to read the report
have read the Deloitte ramblings! Be specific what took things to the brink? - reading the report seems ultimately around stupidly low AHTs and unrealistic levels of clinician hand-off assumptions. Can't just be the sales team that signed up to those? Where's the Service Delivery Director now who was adamant it could be done! Oh yes, "disappeared" a day or so after the big NW/WM problems.
