It’s that time again. A new government full of optimism and a freshly minted prime minister bursting with new ideas, the honeymoon period yet to slip into acrimony and divorce.

And we all know what comes next — a new report on the state of the NHS, usually followed by a top-to-bottom reorganisation that will miraculously shorten A&E waiting times, solve the staffing crisis and promise millions of pounds for community services or ailing critical care, whichever happens to be the flavour of the day.
