Communications. Off message.
More than half of NHS organisations now have a communications post. Almost half of all communications managers are working single-handed. Most earn 30,000 Pounds or less. The typical NHS organisation spends less than 75,000 Pounds a year on communications, notably less than many local authorities. The present level of investment in communications is woefully inadequate to deliver the new NHS envisaged by the government.
