00:00I worked in IT and I did a lot of work with the NHS. I was with the team that launched

00:07the breast screening programme from Oxford. So I've done a lot of NHS work. What I find

00:16is currently, the current computer systems are pointless. They're so slow they're almost

00:23unusable. But the staff in the NHS are brilliant. What's really poor is the concepts and the

00:30management.

00:31What changes do you think are needed towards 2025?

00:35I think the NHS has been in a bit of a rough state for quite a while now. A lot of my friends

00:40are medics and some of the stories they tell me are quite hard to hear. I think they're

00:44very overworked. I think some of the changes they need is more funding to give junior doctors

00:51better pay, provide better facilities, that sort of thing.

00:56I have a phrase, there's too many people who've read the book and never done the job.
