We’re being told that the NHS will move from being a service to being a system. That it won’t deliver things, it will set the framework through which things happen. This sounds a lot like community empowerment but the costly, professional driven days of the Community Empowerment Networks seem to be over. Ideas like People Powered Change might change the emphasis, but even costly programmes like the Big Local Trust seem a bit artificial in these heady days of self organising.. Particularly as the news always seems to be over once they announce the successful schemes.. All our other statutory animals are changing beyond all recognition as we speak, changing shape, changing cost and the direction of travel will not change in 4 years time..
So - lets imagine for two minutes that the VCS were one animal. How would it look..?
