NHS Medical Director seems to have stopped taking his prescription drugs

At least, that is the best reason I can find for the stream of inane and ridiculous comments that Sir Bruce Keogh made at the launch of the Government's campaign to publish data.  As reported in the Telegraph, here are some of his comments [with Militant Manager's commentary in square brackets]:

1. He could envisage an NHS that was "available 24-7". [Isn't the NHS already 24-7, with NHS Direct and A&E?  Maybe he was talking about the date 24/7, coming as it does at the beginning of the school holidays.  Those days are always quite hard to staff.]
2. High-speed broadband could allow people to consult international experts or to take advantage of out-of-hours care provided by overseas doctors in another time zone. [Rather than copper wires allowing foreign doctors to provide out-of-hours GP services from another town zone.]
3. Such technology would lessen the need for a "geographical connection" between GPs and their patients, while it would also enable doctors to conduct what he called "virtual ward rounds". [He is much mistaken.  It is the advent of reviews, listening exercises, quangos, and other pass-times that have allowed GPs such as Steve Field, Charles Alessi, Clare Gerada etc to lessen their geographical connection with their patients; and I know of lots of consultants who already do virtual ward rounds - or is it ghost ward rounds?]
4. He said the NHS had to adapt because “young people won’t put up with having to travel to a doctor and wait 20 minutes when they can just use the web to talk directly to a doctor”. [What!  20 minute wait?????? From the same processes that calls all morning day surgeries in first thing in the morning - so that some wait 3 hours!  Aaagh, if only a 20 minute wait was the norm].
5. Sir Bruce acknowledged that the NHS had yet to lay out a “national vision” for digital access, but he said that it would happen in the future. [Just what we need.  Another grand IT vision.  OOOhhhh, let me volunteer for that one]
