I mean, sure, okay, as a temporary measure this can sometimes make sense, but at some point (particularly if you're restructuring) you're going to have to lift this because it's not sustainable for the long term.

2) an end to discretionary spending on travel, non-clinical equipment, office supplies and the like;
No more office supplies, that'll make things more efficient! No more boots on the ground to travel to a hospital and see what really happens, you can manage by spreadsheet can't you?

3) no more spending by areas that have not spent their full budget for the year;
I honestly don't see what this is try to accomplish? Don't spend your budget and then you can't spend more money? So you want people to...spend their whole budget rather than find efficiencies?

4) and to 10-per-cent cut to overtime and agency staffing.
Even though our demand is way up you gotta cut staffing and overtime....not doing anything on the demand side so I guess we're going to have empty shifts instead? Awesome!

Don't overthink it. The UCP experiment is in it's infancy. I am sure everything will work out.
