每天有报告涌进来 对吧伯纳 哪来的 大臣?
Instances flood into this office.From whom, Minister?
议员 选民 医生 护士 公众
MPs, constituents,doctors, nurses, the public.
刁民
Trouble makers!
公众? 他们最不安分
The public?They're the worst.
听听这个
Listen to this.
"申请听诊器:基于目前状况"
"Stethoscope requisition:Due to current situation,
"无法按需核发听诊器"
it is not possible to issuethe extra stethoscopes applied for.
"但可以为现有听诊器"
We can, however,supply longertubes
"配备更长的胶管"
for your existing stethoscopes".
怎么了? 你不觉得奇怪吗?
Well?Doesn't that strike you as odd?
不 如果增加胶管... 不 不
Lf they have long tubes...No, no.
他们不要长胶管 要听诊器
No, not longer stethoscopes,MORE stethoscopes.
如果胶管够长
If they had really long tubes,
医生可以坐在原地 听遍所有病人

is made of a see-through material;nurses issued with these
"护士请求上报制♥服♥监督委员会"

这倒是个美差 汉弗莱 我说真的!

非常合理 情有可原
A very civil and reasonable request.
平常医生该让太平间繁荣昌盛吗?
You think the rest of the yeardoctors work hard to keep it busy?
大臣 这些都是特例
These are a few isolated examples.
大体上 医疗部门已达到政♥府♥最高效率
The Health Service is as efficientas the Government allows it.
胡说 汉弗莱 看数字就知道
Nonsense!The figures speak for themselves.
10年来 医疗部门行政人员增加了4万名
In ten years, the number ofadministrators has risen by 40,000.
病床减少了6万张
The number of hospital bedshas fallen by 60,000.
医疗年度支出增加了1500万 净增长
The annual cost of the HealthService has gone up by ?.5 billion!
工业增长也有这个速度就好了
If only British industrycould match this growth record.
你觉得多拨款少治病人
You think spendingmore money on fewer patients
余钱拿来雇行政人员
so we can employmore administrators
是对国会和纳税人负责吗?
is a good way of spendingthe taxpayer's money?
当然
Certainly.
汉弗莱 拨款是为了把病人治好 要专款专用
This money is solelyto make sick people better.
不不 大臣
No, no, no, Minister.
是为了我们大家好
It is to make everybody better.
更好体现大家的关注与仁爱之心
Better for showing the extentof their care and compassion.
您看 当款项集中投入医疗或社会服务
You see, when money is allocatedto the Health orSocial Services,
议会和国民都觉得...升华了
Parliament and the countryfeel...cleansed.
净化了 赎罪了 这是种牺牲
Purified. Absolved. It is a sacrifice.
花言巧语
Dreadful claptrap!
牺牲仪式之后
After the sacrifice is made,
没人会问祭品去了哪里
nobody questionswhat happened to the offering.
汉弗莱 你错了 公众确实反对滥用
The public does careif it's misspent.
恕我直言 他们反对公开滥用
They care it's not seento be misspent.
才不是呢 看看那桩精神病院丑闻
That's not true. Look at the uproarover mental hospital scandals.
正是如此 大臣
My point exactly.
顺顺当当浪费了多少年 几十年
Those abuses had been going onhappily for years.
没人关心钱花到哪去了
Nobody was concernedwhat was being done with their money.
他们只恨知道了真♥相♥
What outraged themwas being told.
汉弗莱 多世故的烟幕弹
A cynical smokescreen!
你我都同意
Are we or are we not agreed
医院不能专养行政人员吧?
there's no pointin a hospital run solelyforthe staff?
我不会这么说 我会
That's not how I would express it.It's how I would.
确实
Indeed.
那你怎么说? 当然 总的来说
How would you express it?At the end of the day,
治病救人是医院的职能之一
one of a hospital's prime functionsis patient care.
之一?还有什么?
One?
没有钱请医护人员
Until we have the moneyfor nursing and medical staff,
这一职能18个月内不能履行
it's a function we can't pursue.In 18 months orso...
18个月? 届时可以开些病房♥
18 months?We can open some wards.
不行 汉弗莱 必须现在病房♥全开
No, it's got to be now.
好吧 那就组成部门联席委员会
I suppose we could forman inter-departmental committee
考察提早收治病人
to examine the feasibilityof monitoring a proposal
这一提案的可行性
for admitting patients earlier.
出结果要多久? 不久
How long would that take to report?Not long.
多久? 大概18个月
How long?About 18 months.
我提议裁掉所有人员
I suggestwe get ridof all the staff there
省下钱开放其他医院闲置病房♥ 大臣
and use the money to openclosed wards in other hospitals.
等有钱了 再给圣爱医院配备医生开业 您可同意?
When we can afford it, we openSt Edward's with medical staff.
大臣 如此您把开业时间推后了好几年
Do that and you'll delaythe opening for patients for years.
为什么 您觉得没病人 行政人员就闲着?
Why?You talk as if the staffhave nothing to do!
有什么事 拜托 大臣
