Livre d'Or

I'm confused, sorry. Are you saying it was bad when Blair's government introduced targets and "a whole layer of hospital bureaucracy tied up with measuring A&E waiting times", and it was *also* bad when the Tories removed targets and "paperwork", because "without someone keeping track you can't even tell whether people are being treated in a timely fashion for emergency conditions, let alone improve your speed at responding to emergencies"?

Both of those make sense to me in isolation, like two opposing sides of a debate, but I don't understand how they're both simultaneously true.
