cissolt Posted April 25, 2022 Share Posted April 25, 2022 Another example of governments cosy relationship with the sefton. A cynic would think they were all in the same kind of men only club who like dressing up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josem Posted April 26, 2022 Share Posted April 26, 2022 12 hours ago, Manx17 said: How does one join this over luxurious club? The number of staff in the cabinet office increased by 30% during the Quayle Administration, so I imagine it can't be hard. A big part of the increase in staff numbers is likely connected to the misguided effort to separate Public Health Isle of Man from the Department of Health and Social Care, (and further, the consequential hiring of various staff on pandemic-related measures, such as the 111 phone line and similar).

Non-Believer Posted April 26, 2022 Share Posted April 26, 2022 It's worth remembering that @ 10 years ago, Cabinet Office didn't even exist and the Island's governance had survived for over 1030 years without it. It was Bell's vanity creation and has expanded and recruited uncontrollably ever since its inception. 1 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This It is a total non department that seems like a carbon copy of the joke "Department of Administrative Affairs" from Yes Minister. Trouble is, our one is real and we are paying our taxes to waste money on it. It needs disbanding ASAP That department wasted/ wastes multi millions that could go to far more deserving causes.

WTAF You really could not make this shit up. FFS Alfie boy you are not even close to your father in intelect, resign and give us a break. Would it not be better for the end user, as in Us poor taxpayers and clients of our so called health "service", to spend the money that is going to Manx Care on Primary health care? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boris Johnson Posted April 28, 2022 Share Posted April 28, 2022 1 minute ago, Manx17 said: I think they needed Manx care to take over as none of them had a clue and as the years went by our health system was just failing and still is, but there have been small improvements.especially in the eye clinic. I know someone who had to wait near four years for surgery on their eye. They were practically walking round blind from waiting. As they compensated with their other eye and now that one needs surgery. Hopefully it won’t take another four years. Do we need a health minister now? It is a total shambles when we have people suffering but money is found for the likes of love cards. IOM Nobles is underfunded and even if multi millions were spent there it will never be capable of giving really good health care to IOM residents. They are on a road to nowhere. Health care is going more and more specialised, I like that, ITS GOOD, for us, the customers. If I need my right foot cut off I want a surgeon/ team that do that all the time, not some General Surgeon who lops off the odd leg/ arm/ finger every 52 weeks in TT week. It should be shut down and money spent on stabilising patients then shipping them off island to the better care they will get in the UK. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David, while seeming to be the great white hope for the Manx hoy poloy ?. In his era he sounded good but what change did he actually bring about in his time? He certainly brought in a new type of voice, less 'pro' than our current lot but that's because the 'pro' political voice had not been invented then.

asitis Posted April 29, 2022 Share Posted April 29, 2022 I think the most saddening and pertinent post I have read this week on here, ( true or not), is the one about someone moving off as they are worried about medical care and they will live longer should they need care in the UK ! For someone to even alliterate that, is a damning indictment of where it is perceived we are. Add this to the other long list of why young people, (aka taxpayers), don't stay and we are on the road to hell ! I had hoped Alfred would immediately get a grip of the lunatic spending we are famed for and shift priorities, his interview above suggest he is still justifying the breathtaking sums of money mismanaged by Government. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
