Followers of my blog will have seen the NHS question about how many reorganisations have we had. We've yet another. The number of PCTs (Primary Care Trusts) nationally is to halve. This means merging East and North. (and then probably HoB and south). It would be nice if people would stick with one structure. There is a quotation ( Which sadly does not appear to be a true quotation ) We trained hard . . . but it seemed that every time we were beginning to form up into teams we would be reorganized.

Births 1996: 722,000
Births 2005: 717,500

The murder numbers are too small to draw confident conclusions about trends except that there is no obvious improvement (assuming the years are not cherry-picked and definitions haven't changed). Yearly statistics over the whole decade would be better.
