Edge of chaos

With regard to the article on chaos in the National Health Service1, I was particularly interested in the conclusion about increasing resources. This, if I read correctly, is a very good corollary of Parkinson's Law; that is, the amount of work to be done increases in order to fill the time (resources?; personnel?) available to do it.
