dc.description.abstract	The long term interests of the National Health Service are often undermined by its political governance structure.1 2 Health ministers are diverted by the exigencies of a short electoral cycle and by the perception of personal responsibility for all failings. This has compelled them to interfere with health technology recommendations, to reorganise the NHS repeatedly, and to interject on transient, local issues.	en
