  Don't give them any ideas on how to "improve" the NHS!

  >> The Minister of Health doesn't go around stating that every schoolchild should learn how to operate on people... Or how it would 'only take a day' to learn how to operate on people, for that matter. I'm not so much surprised that someone in her position doesn't know how to code (she doesnt't have to, really), but at the very least I expect you to have a basic understanding of the depth and breadth of the topic, and not make sweeping, distracting and confusing statements like this. A little preparation, just a few hours of talking to people who are knowledgeable on the topic, would go a long way not making a fool out of yourself.

I feel rather sorry for her, though - aren't politicians supposed to be briefed for public appearances nowadays so things like this Just Don't Happen?

  Probably does think that every school child should learn biology, though, with a few labs involving animal specimen dissections. We aren't talking about "teaching kids to develop software". This is "teaching kids to put code in a text editor and run a compiler on it."
