Roger Mexico Posted November 14, 2022 Share Posted November 14, 2022 28 minutes ago, John Wright said: But expenditure exceeded the revenue. PPU was just a hotel with nursing, plus some consulting rooms they rented out. Most revenue from private care at Nobles went to consultants, surgeons, anaesthetists. And, as wrighty explained 4 years ago, most things billable, and therefore revenue, went to Treasury, not DHSC, but DHSC paid all the costs like staff, heat, light, power, maintenance. Also (from rumour) a lot of things didn't get charged out, either from administrative incompetence or to keep certain consultants 'sweet'. So even stuff that was costing the NHS (such as staff overtime) rather than just correct apportioning of overheads, wasn't recovered. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apple Posted November 15, 2022 Share Posted November 15, 2022 Ward 19 was often used for NHS patients when the hospital was experiencing bed shortages. it was accepted and worked well, with the then Manager keeping a close eye on the bed usage. When beds started to be closed in other areas then problems occurred. This morning, whilst Tynwald was on, there were emergency meetings at Nobles due to bed shortages and the usual reasons were used - too many A and E patients, shortages in community facilities etc. One of the contributing factors though it appears are the beds closed due to lack of staff. The paper that was issued to Board members should be published but I suggest it would cause too much public concern. Todays events in Tynwald do not help. 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What about Clare Barber, the second healthcare professional in the Keys? She knows Noble's inside out, and was also a member of the department for an extended period. While I think she suffers a little from the egotism that is inflated after taking the loyal oath, she also appears bright, hard-working and personable. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ashford, Alf has already laid the groundwork. Then an embarrassing climb down and forced resignation when his failures during the Ranson debacle are brought to light again 1 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apple Posted November 16, 2022 Share Posted November 16, 2022 Dr Allinson would be my choice if he is no longer a practising GP or gives it up. We need someone who knows the way round the health and care services ( are they going to drop the 'social' word now) and theres no-one better qualified. He knows the game of politics too and I believe he harbours sights at the big chair. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots in the news about the 3 MHK complainants being made out as villains and the tragic events in a Safeguarding review. Also the GP situation in Foxdale. Will our Government imitate the UK Chancellor this afternoon and pledge more resources to health and care services, as something is not happening as it should. Constructive change is required.

You could argue that the extra £3 million plus per year for the Manx care board could have been used better elsewhere. We are still waiting for them to publish the money paid to the various directors that are popping up every week 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirty Buggane Posted November 17, 2022 Share Posted November 17, 2022 Manx care, caring if they have paid enough of me and you's money to all of there mates. Whom also happen to be directors. Should of just took all the extra cash these individuals are spending on OUR behalf and signed the whole island up to BUPA. The way its going would of been less expensive alternative 3 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Banker Posted November 18, 2022 Share Posted November 18, 2022 Can understand why ballasalla practices did this but is it happening elsewhere? I know palatine have lots living in Onchan etc who should move https://www.manxradio.com/news/isle-of-man-news/decision-to-de-register-patients-from-medical-facility-not-taken-lightly/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hissingsid Posted November 18, 2022 Share Posted November 18, 2022 Where do these people move to that is the question? With a wait of two or three weeks to get an appointment for a non urgent consultation with a doctor I would guess most surgeries are fully subscribed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
