Do you think Manx care had the appetite and will to make the required changes? I don't believe our politicians have the backbone or nouse to prevent us becoming a IOM NHS trust. Sir Jonathan and his merry band have a lot to answer for. Yes. He sold us a pup for over a million quid. That pup has grown into a massive white elephant (costing 3.5 mill a year) stomping on and squashing local services and hoovering up all profitable services for outsourcing to their mates abroad (allegedly). The company that has taken on all the work does not even have the necessary staff to provide them and is actively trying to recruit and poach (also allegedly) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WTF Posted September 29, 2022 Share Posted September 29, 2022 10 hours ago, wrighty said: The new term for the complaints department, effectively. ‘Manx Care Advice and Liaison Service’ I think. Go through them, not your MHK, if you have an issue with appointment cancellations, waiting times, rude doctors, medical negligence etc. they'll be busy.

One of my old bosses use to say it, when he had fuck up or when he didn't have a clue what he was doing. https://www.manxradio.com/news/isle-of-man-news/there-are-polarised-views-of-dhsc-says-callister/ I'm sorry but anyone who talks about 'customers' rather than patients needs to have a look at themselves. Will it be right that patients will want to come back again if services are that good. ? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Jonathan Michaels who held super secret meetings with megson, then shredded the minutes, deciding the future of our health industry?

NoTailT Posted September 30, 2022 Share Posted September 30, 2022 Great to see positive comments online about A&E given lots of recent issues. But a readmission within a few hrs of discharge isn't good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'So this is what's wrong with you leslie, here's the medicine and treatment plan, you're going to be pretty unwell for a few days, go home and get some rest, take it easy. If things get noticeably worse please come straight back'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
