We have set and met our targets!

What's the point of Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt's latest decree that hospitals must publish monthly details of the numbers of staff on each of their wards, if there is no agreement as to what those numbers should be (see post of 10th August)? Effectively it is being left to individual hospitals to decide for themselves what they consider a safe level of staffing to be, and then publish a monthly return showing that they have met those levels.  Crazy!!
