We are quite confident” he said “that in three years time only 25% of hospitals will have less than average mortality rates. However it will take another three years of extremely hard work to reduce these even further so that only 1 in 8 hospitals are worse than average.”<br /> As a further incentive he announced that the Chief Executive of any hospital with less than average performance would be compelled to spend ten days in a general surgical ward of their hospital without access to a mobile phone or any form of computer nor receive visitors. </p>
