7.55 Monday, the minister discovers a hospital fully staffed but no patients.
Brand new hospital with over 500 non-medical staff and no patients?
No, there is one patient.
One?
Yes, the deputy chief administrator fell over a piece of scaffolding and broke his arm.
And Sir Humphrey receives a logical explanation.
First of all, you have to sort out the smooth running of the hospital.
Having patients around would be no help at all.
The hilarious but all too true, Yes Minister, 7.55 Monday on ABC.
