NHS boss: 'Run failing hospitals like Tesco to improve them' Failing hospitals should be run like supermarket chains if they are to improve, the boss of one of the country’s best-rated trusts has said.

He argued that the 135 separate acute non-specialist trusts in England, all with “different ways of doing things”, were “a key reason why standards in care vary so dramatically in what is meant to be a national health service”. iNews
