It will take more than a few targets to make the NHS fitter

Article Abstract:

The UK government's decision to establish performance targets for the National Health Service (NHS) may not bring about any real improvement in standards. The test of targets is what the repercussions would be if they were not achieved, and the government's White Paper, 'Saving Lives,' does not make this clear. The really difficult issue the White Paper fails to address is what should happen to people who fail to respond to encouragement to live a healthier lifestyle and thus need expensive NHS treatment.
