Apple Posted March 31, 2021 Author Share Posted March 31, 2021 1 minute ago, Albert Tatlock said: Yes - check earlier in this thread. There has been many instances of this over the past few years. Was it done to 'reward' certain people or to try and keep talented people in the organisation ? Impossible to determine now of course. The biggest problem as I can see as regards this and several other likewise issues is the HR Department. It seems to always avoid any criticism or accountability, yet the way it operates is one of the key elements that needs to be changed. It now needs separating out and away from all front line services. That is the crucial next step. Take it totally out of Government and privatise. That will be a key development in separating out political interference. And stop the jobs for the boys accusations. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apple Posted March 31, 2021 Author Share Posted March 31, 2021 Some of the posters on here have real life experience of the jobs for the boys antics. Some for various reasons can not post what they know. In my view the DHSC has over the years appointed several people that are related or in relationships that in the olden days would have been frowned upon. It is inevitable that this will happen on the island. The problem lies when anyone in any sort of position to determine how recruitment is supposed to be open, fair and transparent sets any parameters that even by implication deters managers from making the "wrong' choices". As for the pressures of being encouraged to "vacate" certain roles so others can step up - well, don't get me started. All of this, and more, is known to DHSC HR, but they do not do enough to deter it. I wonder why ? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are still some appointments that have been made, and some recently, that were not open to wider competition. They like a closed shop, some people.

Dr. Grumpy Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 (edited) End of the beginning or beginning of the end? We've already thrown well over a million at Sir JM, 3.5 Millions at the new management structure and several millions at the Transformation team consisting of many UK based consulting firms(allegedly). Where will it end? Only time will tell if we've been had! Edited March 31, 2021 by Dr. Grumpy 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh yes - make clinical staff put on line their qualifications, histories, performances, specialities etc. And publish Board meetings minutes. Share the information - share the responsibility. That'll do for the first 12 months. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2112 Posted April 1, 2021 Share Posted April 1, 2021 Listening to the Nations Propaganda Mouthpiece this morning with the new ‘boss’ of Manx Care, saying they have failed if there is an overspend is revelatory, in comparison to .’Ashie’ bullshit, warm words and complete full house of Manx bullshit bingo. The favourite thing which he thought was impressive was the amount of money IOMG was spending on ‘Manx Care’ for the Salaries of the new Directors. Ashies mentality is think of the civil servants. I’m sure come September he think what can I entice the voters of Douglas North with? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is would show though is the philosophical / cultural change that we really need to see. Most of this would be very easy to achieve - given the will. The era of arrogance must end now. Throw out anyone who cannot live with the new "style". Get that right and everything else will flow from it. I'll be lobbying my MHK to push for this new approach. As we now realise, almost too late, the health and social care on the island is too important not to be right, effective and financially appropriate.
