Mercenary Posted July 9 Share Posted July 9 On 7/8/2024 at 8:03 AM, cissolt said: Will we ever know the true story of what happened here? How many weeks did he actually spend on the island? https://www.manxradio.com/news/isle-of-man-news/medical-director-and-nursing-director-depart-manx-care/ Reading between the lines certainly sounds like a settlement, which would be a concern (with the number of employment disputes Manx Care seems to be racking up) - and would certainly be six figures. Is there anywhere these 'one-off costs' are reported in their board figures? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Four weeks (minus 1 day). As we all know he lies. Recently my appointments have crept to last one being 5 weeks. Usually it’s within 2 weeks which I’m fine with. Never in recent years had anything around 6 days Edited July 10 by Numbnuts 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cissolt Posted July 11 Share Posted July 11 Projected 18.5 million over budget for the year. 5.7 million risk for something and 4.8 million pay awards. So projected to be nearly 30 million over budget this year and that's after an increase of £44 million! Will any politician be brave enough to step up and say Manx care has failed and perhaps Jonathan Michael was talking out of his arse? https://www.manxradio.com/news/isle-of-man-news/lack-of-control-over-psc-pay-offer-having-significant-impact-on-manx-care/ 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When PSC is awarding large pay rises to the many administration staff which Manx care are expected to fund then its obviously going to cause problems 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kopek Posted July 12 Share Posted July 12 Surely it's the budget setting that has failed rather than the OLD/NEW provision of health care??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert Tatlock Posted July 12 Share Posted July 12 2.2% increase in demand for surgery 'must be analysed' Between June 2023 and May this year there were more than 22,000 referrals for surgical specialties. https://www.manxradio.com/news/isle-of-man-news/2-2-increase-in-demand-for-surgery-must-be-analysed/ I'd say it should be analysed. That's a tremendous amount - a huge proportion of the population. But just how many of them are truly really resident here I wonder - how many are expats using the NHS here, maybe using the system in their old age when they have been based god knows where for the last 20 years? Are they truly analysing who they are treating here? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Two-lane Posted July 12 Share Posted July 12 "... on its waiting lists to meet its 52-week target for treatment". Is this correct? A simple web search gives me "Reducing elective waiting times from ‘18 months to 18 weeks’ was one of the English NHS' major achievements in the 2000s" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrighty Posted July 12 Share Posted July 12 2.2% increase in demand is not that surprising really, given the ageing demographic, the pressure on GPs, and general health-needs inflation which ensures demand grows year on year because the profession keeps inventing new stuff to do.
