In any system that delivers services, a minority of organisations will under-perform. Most of those will be able to recover this position and improve, but some will fail and will need direct intervention to ensure that service continuity is given priority and that over time good local services are developed. The Prime Minister has made clear that the Government will take decisive action in the public interest again failing services and this applies to NHS services as to all others. This is a core obligation to the state.
