Sometimes it doesn’t make you feel good to be proved right. But last week I pointed out that a Government that could not construct a narrative about its NHS reforms when it was going forward, would find it very hard to tell a coherent story when it’s going backwards.

And that has proved true. But this has become such a mess that it’s now very bad for the NHS in general and for NHS reform in particular. So I end this week not enjoying the sight of a Government in such disarray.
