The Minister and I will agree that in the past five years the NHS budget has indeed increased substantially, while productivity has unfortunately failed to increase at the same rate. Does the hon. Lady agree that the NHS has one of the most committed work forces in the country, and that its biggest failure is the failure to engage properly with its professional staff—the doctors and nurses who are capable of delivering all the service changes that she proposes? Does she agree that much more needs to be done in that regard?
