andsome Posted April 24, 2006 Report Share Posted April 24, 2006 The government reckons that the NHS has enjoyed its best year ever. :lol: :lol: :lol: My question is, how on earth can they boast about all the extra nurses that they have trained, whilst at the same time sacking many of them? What kind of lunacy is ti to spend money on training people, only to appoint them then immediately sack them?Look here.Look here alsoAnd hereAnd another Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catgate Posted April 24, 2006 Report Share Posted April 24, 2006 What kind of lunacy is ti to spend money on training people, only to appoint them then immediately sack them?It takes a very special kind of lunacy to see things in this way.I am reminded of an Industrial Engineering Dept. manager who was some how employed by the company that I was with. One of his minions had come up with a "scheme" for increasing "productivity" (= degrading of product). At our monthly management meeting I, as Quality Assurance and Tech. Services Manager, vetoed it, for obvious reasons. His response was, "Well, what you must remember is this. All improvements are not necessarily for the better."This seems to me to be in line with the sort of "improvement" that the blessed Patricia is claiming.

dadyassa Posted April 24, 2006 Report Share Posted April 24, 2006 The health service moves in mysterious ways, when I was a plumber I was on a contract to refurbish part of Severalls hospital. The hospital was due to close and they knew that the buildings would have to be demolished in three years when the bypass was to be made, but it was still cheaper to refurbish the buildings for the patients than it would have been to find other accommodation for them.It seems crazy but there was a method in their madness, mind you they were employing some agency nurses at 18 quid an hour cos they were not allowed to directly employ any more nurses Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
