Random Irritations

Spot on. The NHS either needs massive change to prioritise front line, totally revamp NHS England, how they source drugs, how they train and recruit nurses etc etc, or we need to change to a similar model to France, Holland, Australia etc, all who deliver much better universal services in a different way

Hopefully this doesn’t go down the “P” route but an insurance broker I worked at a few years ago insured the PFI contracts - my god it was pi55ing money away

Blimey, H, you really do think there is a money tree. Throughout your posts you call on the Government, one way or another, to throw money at something or someone for every problem.

How is it needed for such a salary to be paid to someone( and others ,under him, if he’s a Director of…..) for problems which amount to existing people and departments not doing their jobs right.?
There must already be hierarchies within those areas where there are problems, and they could and should sort it.
Creating this job and that job at hundred K a time is just the sort of behaviour that is shafting the NHS, where the tail seems to wag the dog.
When I read reports such as top class surgeons being hauled over the coals by some pen pushing manager who wouldn’t know anything at all to help that surgeons patient got recover or live, then I get so bloody angry.
The managers are there to facilitate the clinicians:how dare they behave as if it’s the other way round.

And you support another adding to their ranks,!

I simply explained my understanding of what the role meant, as some were struggling to understand what it was. And simply identified that as being at director level the salary was not inconsistent with what might be expected. Of course what we do not know is whether the role is additional or replacing an existing position.

I also suggested that as customer 'lived' experience on a treatment pathway in the NHS is currently problematic (I know this to be the case first hand at the moment with the 'lived' experience of my brother-in-law as he is supported through his cancer treatment by my wife) then it may well be worth having someone really focussed on delivering improvements to it.

On the cost front I might suggest that the NHS could pay 26 Lived Experience Directors £110k/yr for 10 yrs if it was only possible to find £29million from somewhere - but as you say - there is no money tree - well it seems that there was, but it has been well and truly shaken and most leaves of gold have fallen out and been swept up.:rolleyes:

Anyway - that's just an aside about money since it was brought into it - when my intent was to simply to explain what I thought the role was.

Shops that do not keep any stock. Go into shop, I would like to buy that item. That is fine, if you pay for it now you can come back and pick it up in 48 hours. But, hold on, I can do that through your app and have it delivered to my home in that time or I can buy it cheaper and get it quicker on Amazon. I came in to buy and item and take it away now. Sorry sir, we do not offer that option, it is all ordered in from our warehouse once purchased. And then shops complain that everyone buys everything online and stores are closing.
