If so, what's the back story? Leaving next week, to pursue a new challenge. I actually asked him if he was pushed, or asked to leave, or really is pursuing new things. He tells me he is, and I have no reason to doubt him. I know he does have other things going on - it's up to him not me however to publicise them if he wants to. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Banker Posted November 25, 2022 Share Posted November 25, 2022 1 hour ago, Manx17 said: Well I was up at the hospital yesterday and nursing staff are not very happy with Manx Care and according to some, many are leaving or have left as they just don’t want to work for them any more. Three wards are shut and the bed situation is dreadful. Mostly filled with elderly where each department have waiting lists and they are not able to give the care they were trained in. Wednesday on gyno ward there were only three lady patients that needed that ward the rest of the ward was filled with elderly. Their waiting list is long but they just haven’t got the beds. Food the vegetables are black, potatoes look like they have been left out in the air after peeling them, I’m unsure how the same happens with carrots as they look frozen not fresh. Taxes are paying for these services who ever is doing the food want to be ashamed and how are they getting away with it? The staff look warn out . The place needs investigating. Nursing staff are not happy across UK either, have you seen the news? Elderly are probably waiting for nursing home beds , also understand waiting list for hospice at present Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know he does have other things going on - it's up to him not me however to publicise them if he wants to. “other things going on”?? - WTF? If that is the case then there will be no need for yet another IOMGOV NDA and we can all be allowed to know why yet another Manx Care “top dog” has gone. But surely, given the acknowledged IG crisis in Manx Care, those in such highly paid and senior positions (CIO ffs) should have been concentrating on getting that mess sorted out, not have “other things going on”? If they did have the time to do “other things” it suggests they were either not spending the working week doing the “day job” they were paid for, or the “day job” only needs to be part time? Or was doing the “other things going on” instead of the “day job” the cause of the IG crisis? Interestingly, Ethos Ltd is listed as one of his interests in Manx Care Board papers. Karen Malone (remember her?) also seems to be working for Ethos now. Hopefully IOMGOV will not be paying these two for their services, again, through this company? Presumably he has to step down as “Chair of the Treasury ICT panel” too? (can’t find a mention of that panel on Treasury website, is this just another publicly financed talking shop with no remit or accountability for time and money spent?) - Would have thought that was a conflict with his ex-role in Manx Care anyway, but, hey, it’s IOMGOV, anything goes. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

360 View Posted November 26, 2022 Share Posted November 26, 2022 But isn’t thatbetter than turfing elderly/vulnerable people (or any patient tbh) out without any support, medication, care package in place etc at stupid times of the day/night? https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-essex-63758111 There is no easy fix to it, but surely patients (especially elderly) don’t suddenly become well enough to go home at 6/7 pm? Decisions made earlier in the day could mean that all support is in place before they get shoved out … Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gladys Posted November 26, 2022 Share Posted November 26, 2022 Frankly, the use of the term 'bed blocking' is emotive and divisive. It sounds like the people who are classed as 'bed blockers' are intentionally there rather than being a symptom of a broken system. 1 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sounds like the people who are classed as 'bed blockers' are intentionally there rather than being a symptom of a broken system. Patients themselves rarely deliberately bed-block, but on occasion their families do so on their behalf, refusing perfectly good community care packages or nursing home placements for a variety of reasons ranging from inconvenience (“we will only accept a nursing home in our own town”) to an unwillingness to sort funding. Nursing homes themselves are sometimes difficult when it comes to taking their own residents back (“we need to assess his care needs again, and can only come a week on Thursday, you’ll have to keep him until at least then”) It gets frustrating at times, but you’re right that it’s the broken system generally. However, as far as I can tell this particular system has never worked - ‘broken’ implies it used to. Not in my medical lifetime. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
