abstract="Our public health system, addicted to increasing centralisation and regulation, is pushing our everyday work environment beyond the point of sustainability - it has become too complex. Like an ecosystem grown too complex to resist sudden environmental change, public health organisations have become &quot;brittle&quot;, unable to respond to changing conditions. Another bureaucratic restructuring, such as recommended by the Garling report, can only be self-defeating. It is time for us to design systems small enough, and therefore resilient enough, to meet tomorrow's challenges.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
