Perhaps someone could un-confuse me. A previous manager at Noble’s heading up a project to deliver intermediate care, cut and paste a document from a UK health trust, and instead of ‘Doris from Wigan’ the person became ‘Mohammed from Ramsey’. Famously, or perhaps only I know this, when challenged on the cut’n’paste (not difficult to search for text strings on Google) they said that it wasn’t cut’n’paste, they typed it in themselves. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The same thing happened with a visitor strategy document didn't it? I seem to remember they missed a misspelled word when they did a find and replace. Cost thousands for the document too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Banker Posted September 12, 2022 Share Posted September 12, 2022 5 hours ago, hampsterkahn said: Perhaps we should steer away from firing at the very easy targets in Health Services - senior appointees and ministers past and present and look at sensible changes. We all have to deal with the NHS - or “Go Private” There is a further “add-on’-That is “Social Care”. A shock to many, to learn that it has never been part of the NHS - despite the “Cradle to Grave” ideology of the 1940’s50’s . Great if you and your family are lucky with their health and can live at home. Ask your MHK about provision of “non-hospital” long term care for the elderly in your district; how it is funded; how they are working in co-operation Unless you’ve got cash to pay then provision of long or short term care is poor as not enough staff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
