The government has managed to set this up. Has anyone else noticed?

This is about mental health and who is going to be responsible for it now.
Handing something else over to the US.

"These are not alarmist stories being spread by campaigners. Even the Conservative MP and doctor Sarah Wollaston, who chairs the Health Select Committee, knows about the brain drain – her daughter has left the NHS for Australia. Now she, her husband and eight of their friends work in a hospital where they have yet to meet an Australian junior doctor in the casualty department. “It is staffed almost entirely by British-trained junior doctors,” Wollaston wrote this week."

This is a Tory MP talking. She is a GP and chair of the Health Select Committee.
Even her family do not want to work under the system that her government has set up.
I hope everyone sees the irony.

Self explanatory link, I think.

This should surely be illegal.
