Heard two different things today about the health service.
1. On the news it was announced another group of around 200 staff were being made redundant.

2. A mate of mine who I sometimes go for a pint with on a Thursday, phoned to tell me he can't make it tonight.
He has an admid post in the NHS and is staying in a hotel tonight as part of his job. They have booked them a room at £145 a night, plus they are having any meals provided. The hotel is 25 miles from where they work so they get travel allowance etc too. They have also booked a room for them to talk about the department and its aims next year.
There are seven people attending this meeting to exchange ideas!!!!. FFS, could they not have found room in their seven storey office block or in a hospital to have a chat about work!!
This all makes me think these so called shortages are some kind of ploy to get even more out of the Government. These wasteful activities by civil servants and public bodies need stopping and soon!
