Gov and RCUK responses to Open Access Inquiry: eradicating non-disclosure clauses
Today marked the publication of the Government and RCUK responses to the UK's BIS Committee Inquiry into Open Access. I haven't had time to digest the full document, but the overall points, made by the chair of the committee are summarised thus: The Government’s statement that publishers must…

In fact, it often feels to me as though the rhetoric is: if they're so wasteful of patients' time, there must also be financial waste.
I often hear disconnected talk re the NHS from those waiting on wards. Think waits are appalling, note "cuts", rarely suggest more funding.
