madmanxpilot Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 Not the smartest move having the vaccine booking system tied to the the emergency Covid line. These should be independent numbers and teams. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Onchan Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 42 minutes ago, Gladys said: The front line staff probably did, but the answer may have been that some expected waste was expected snd built in to the system. Not that that makes it acceptable, but I do know if any vaccine was left over in the early days it was given to people who were assisting and training in the vaccine process. As I recall I think they were "budgeting" 10% for wastage. But as you say that's not really acceptable. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like you have a point. The UK Independent ran this article last month after a number of FOI requests. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/health/covid-vaccine-doses-england-wasted-rollout-b1799619.html Seems that wastage occurs for a variety of reasons and is totally expected. I sniff some electioneering from Mr Pooper! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think there is a difference to waste as opposed to left over. I think we are entitled to know what the amounts were though. This is too serious to play politics with. 51 minutes ago, Albert Tatlock said: Added to that...according to MR, people are still currently reporting problems with the 111 phone system. Manx Telecom - why does that not surprise me one little bit. MT systems seems to be repeatedly developing faults in my experience. No doubt they will blame the volume of calls or bad weather or something. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well there’s loads of civil servants, class rooms assistant etc sitting at home doing nothing so why aren’t some of them trained to do call centre work? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
