I agree with John Wright. It's a shambles and someone needs to get it sorted. Cruel is the right word. Well, there is enough of them there but they do have other projects to work on at the same time..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Banker Posted January 18, 2021 Author Share Posted January 18, 2021 Mum got her letter today along with the 4 pages of waffle which she didn’t understand, anyway rang 111 and after quickly checking name, dob etc said you will get a letter in next 10 days with appointments. Obviously after first few hundred calls with lots of old dears calling and trying to pick specific days,times, ask questions about vaccinations etc they no longer engage in talk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ahead of the clinically vulnerable and over 80's. If I was ever offered one above an O80 I would turn it down whatever my job was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously after first few hundred calls with lots of old dears calling and trying to pick specific days,times, ask questions about vaccinations etc they no longer engage in talk Frankly, this log jam was totally predictable. Anyone with an O-level in process design would have foreseen this. As I said dozens of pages ago, these idiots will end up overwhelmed by numerous letters, phone calls, post-it notes and complaints for every single vaccine administered. There are three outputs required here; Jab 1, Jab 2, An update to your patient record. Anything else is waste, potential points of failure or error, and unnecessary. Ashford brags how it's all going to 'ramp up' in a few weeks. It is clear that if you have a crap systems (which they clearly have) your processes will just collapse, as volumes and activity increases. Not looking good. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happier diner Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 To be fair Ashford was much better today. He was clear and concise and much less bluff and bluster. He admitted we were behind but he was overt with the numbers. We are not stupid and don't expect government to administer what they don't have but he has drawn a line in the sand saying that, that will be only thing that holds up progress And the AZ jabbing has started at last, Hurrah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doc.fixit Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 Meanwhile, my ex-brother in law has just received his notification for vaccination. He hasn't lived on the island for many, many years!! Yes, the authorities were notified more than once when he went to live across. Makes one wonder about the population figures too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And when you read the two together it’s clear that 12 week interval vaccination really doesn’t make sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
