It is easy to be befuddled by the details of the government's revised plan for the National Health Service, revealed this week after a belated consultation exercise; indeed, befuddlement was one of its main aims. But the basic, lamentable message is that noise from inside the NHS machine, and the exigencies of managing a coalition, have led David Cameron to temper his bid to introduce more competition into health care. As a result, his government now looks less radical, and less transformative, than it once did. A flagship reform has become a messy compromise designed to comfort politicians rather than patients; a change intended to improve efficiency instead threatens to be both chaotic and costly. And Cameron has shown that his commitment to recasting the state as an enabler and a regulator rather than a monopoly provider is flimsy. His opponents, both inside and outside the coalition, have noted his timidity; his supporters have good reason to be disappointed.
