hospital incomptence at the N & N
A friend was delighted that the N & N had contacted him to say that they could do the operation he needed. get ready to come in at 7am and all will be done. The day before he get home to find a message to say that it has been cancelled because of an emergency.
He had organised things so that he could go in and now it was off, the day before. It shows, once again, that the N & N is badly managed, there simple are not enough beds to cope with the varying demand for the hospital. The problem is that the board is made up of lawyers and accountants, people who know the price of everything and the value of nothing.
Even their modelling of needs takes no account of variations in demand, when I asked whether the modelling they use had a stochastic component the chair of the board had no idea what I was talking about. Mr Prior who one once a Tory politician, being paid over £50,000 a year for a part-time job, does not have any idea how the hospital should be planning its workload. It is not surprising that they cannot even keep appointments.
