these managers are on more money than the NHS nurses

the nurses ask the managers to help them cope - however the managers are not medically trained and therefore cannot help

the result

patients sit outside A&E in ambulances - as they cannot be admitted as the staff have no chance of meeting the time limits

you couldn't make it up

Answer: sack the managers, put a matron in charge, employ some more medical staff, and still save some money. Problem?
there would be no penpushers to tick the government target form boxes, as matron would be too busy making sure patients were seen and given appropriate care. That would never do, as ticking the box is more important than saving a life to some of our meddlesome politicians.


Today our local PCT closed its finance dept at 2.00pm "because of the weather". The District nurses are walking to their patients.
All the managers should be sacked, they never do anything useful.
