Well the first thing that springs to mind is that the first saving would be to stop employing management consultants on silly money to say something obvious like 'cut the workforce by 10%'. How long did it take them to come up with that ground breaking strategy? How much did they get paid for that moment of wisdom? Don't they realise it's an election year? The report has already been rejected out of hand - but that won't stop the big juicy pay cheque from landing on their doormat will it?
The real answer is easy. 80% of the health budget goes on the over 65s, the least productive group in society. Let's face it, in the old days you got old and died. That ethos has got to return. No point in keeping old people with dementia alive and sending the country bust. When you lose your marbles then your life is over, the pilot has left the aircraft. Time to switch off the auto pilot and let the plane crash. OK it's harsh - but it's the only realistic answer.
