How is there not outcry about this … and how can minister get away with no accountability #rhetoricalquestions Hooperman is useless in all honesty. You are right. The public are rightly fed up, but at the same time is used to our useless politicos so in turn are rather apathetic as they know what response they will get. 4 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its the tail wagging the dog, having got a taste for power civil service have been growing there own fiefdom's. To much power and to much money. Sack the lot and take them back on new terms and conditions. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Grumpy Posted January 3, 2023 Share Posted January 3, 2023 21 hours ago, Boo Gay'n said: ...and all underpinned by the snake oil sold to us by Sir Jonathan Michael, the recipe for which was thoroughly discredited ten-year old Tory legislation (Lansley 'reforms' of 2012)... And most of the key decisionmakers don't live on the island and therefore neither they nor their families depend on MC for their health needs.

Two-lane Posted January 3, 2023 Share Posted January 3, 2023 There was an allegation that "the department had concocted paperwork submitted in the Dr Rosalind Ranson case." At the end of July 2022 Expol was contracted to examine the relevant documents. "The tribunal has asked all parties to keep three days in November (8-10) available to consider additional evidence to help inform its decision on the damages Dr Ranson will receive." Does anyone have any news, scandal, rumour, or gossip about this - if legal, of course? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Till it fades into the past and carpet settles I'm sure they'll try - the DHSC/AG's Office have attempted to have every Ranson hearing postponed since the first hearing. But the Tribunal and the Courts (when they've appealed) have got increasingly narked about this and unwilling to even consider any deferral. Four days have been allocated later this month (17-20 inc) and I'm sure they will try to do everything to try to get out of it, but I can't see it happening. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last Ten Posted January 3, 2023 Share Posted January 3, 2023 There is one Politician that can sort this mess out in DHSC and Manx Care and that is Mrs Poole-Wilson, I don’t always agree with some of her policies but she is a very thorough and sound Minister. Her role in DHA is important but could be done by someone else as most of the heads in her Divisions are quite astute. Just my views which of course could be totally wrong. 1 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Listened to most of her Tynwald speeches. Chatted to one of her teachers at Balla...she is seen as one of the top pupils ever there. That says something. Definitely next CM material. Just needs 12 others backing her up in there...which has been the main IOM problem for the last 30 years. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moghrey Mie Posted January 3, 2023 Share Posted January 3, 2023 DHSC is responsible for setting strategy, policies and legislation. Manx Care is responsible for delivering care in accordance with the MANDATE. Some people don't seem to understand this change. https://www.gov.im/media/1378423/dhsc-department-plan-2022-23.pdf One of the aims was to stop ministers and MHKs from interfering in the day to day running of health and social care. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes but all it seems to have managed is to introduce another extremely expensive layer of managers, who for what ever reason also appear to be appointing a lot of friends to high wage positions and not tackling the major problems and building themselves their own fiefdom. Which in the long run will do more harm than good and prove hard and extremely expensive to remove when the mistake becomes apparent.

Correct. Is Manx Care then responsible for the staffing and bed problems m In Nobles right now? Are they even accountable for the lack of provision of services to safely transfer patients (whatever age) from the hospital ? What happens if Manx Care fails to deliver safe treatment and care as per the mandate? Do they get fined (tax payers money again) or do members of the Board get sacked? Does the CEO and the other Directors have to stand down with immediate effect? Do we still hold The Minister responsible for where we are at today? An interesting quote from the above link:- We are committed to improving our culture and supporting our colleagues to thrive within their roles. We do not want to define ourselves by past challenges, or have these represent what we are known for .... What exactly does that mean or refer to? Lots of questions but no one is asking them politically. Yet. Added - there are a couple or three of changes that could be initiated to take regarding the staffing crisis in Nobles that would help significantly. But they won't. Edited January 4, 2023 by Apple typos and adds. sorry. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
