Yes, the main cause
of government incompetence since 1997 has been the
appalling decline in the
quality of the British civil service, but it is not simply over-centralisation, targets or
lack of executive skills.
Critics argue that the
appalling level
of most dental work in Britain is due to a system that rewards poor work; an almost complete
lack of quality checking and the near impossibility
of having dentists disciplined or struck off.
