Free bird - don’t you know that Manxforums is home to the most virtuous people on the planet? Manxman1234 is just another shit stirrer delighting in the problems of someone else. Sad.

I was in Birmingham last week and London the week before. Everytime I get fed up I go somewhere else - and realise I wasn't so fed up after all .

To be fair, the majority on Manx forums have been trying to get rid of every Chief Minister since inception (of Manx forums - not chief ministers) 😀

Interesting numbers and clearly some unwanted growth. What's concerning a bit is the DHSC / Manx Care figures. Accepted they need to grow front line staff (Manx Care), in this case 76 in 2022.............but even with a hefty salary bill are they really justifying tens of millions of ££ overspends and many tens of millions of budgetary increases ? Someone needs to take a very close look at where all the money is going because the staffing increases don't appear to justify the taxpayers outlay.

But is this a massive structural issue in the NHS ?. Type "NHS DOCTORS BULLY" into Google and watch the results stream in - much of it very recent. It seems to me that the NHS is in a constant battle on this front & this has been going on for years.

SHOCK. HORROR. I think the UK Health Minister has enough on his plate. And this is only a fraction of the reports ! https://www.independent.co.uk/news/health/racism-nhs-bullying-report-b2268284.html https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-birmingham-65098307 https://www.theguardian.com/society/2019/feb/24/bullying-sexual-harassment-nhs-hospitals https://www.scotsman.com/news/politics/bullying-cases-in-scotlands-nhs-rose-almost-50-in-past-five-years-3737200

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2019/may/28/officials-altered-records-in-bisexual-prison-officer-case-judge-says The tribunal found the Ministry of Justice had failed to disclose documents, carried out “inappropriate redactions” and altered documents. “The credibility of the respondent’s [Ministry of Justice] evidence is sadly lacking. Two documents have been altered without explanation,” the tribunal judgment states. The MoJ has confirmed an internal review into the case is under way. One page in the Guardian. Probably a couple of bollockings issued. Meanwhile on the isle of Man.......................

Is this a review by Partygate No 10, WhatsApp Hancock, Dominic "drive to Durham* Cummins, or this lot https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/politics/one-10-ministry-justice-staff-29079413 ?

Because the public elected them ?

Just read this on the BBC live feed. With the UK heading for meltdown, maybe the economic strategy with its plans to grow the working population is exactly what's needed: 11:12 Hunt 'put off' tough decisions - IFS Speaking of the tax changes unveiled in the chancellor's statement yesterday, Paul Johnson says he saw "no sense of strategy". He acknowledges Chancellor Jeremy Hunt was "hemmed in" by issues including "dreadful growth prospects", meaning that Hunt "put off" the tough decisions. The economist concludes by saying the UK is "reaping the costs of a long-term failure to grow the economy, the effects of an ageing population, and high levels of past borrowing".

There is quite a bit of coverage in the press I see https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/irish-nicola-sturgeon-prime-minister-ireland-mark-drakeford-b2222625.html%3famp

Cannan plus Chief Sec plus two civil servants apparently.

The Health Service is a mess. It didn’t really matter who is in charge at this point.

David Cretney ? Really ?

https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2022/aug/29/horrible-winter-lies-ahead-next-pm-inherit-nhs-knees-crisis - sometimes it’s worth reminding ourselves that we are not alone with these problems - and these stories appear daily. And this https://www.theguardian.com/society/2022/aug/25/england-nhs-dentists-dental-deserts-data - sorry it’s from the same source, but again it’s a story being repeated across the country. Frankly Einstein could take over the NHS and it would still be a mess. In fact a Friend of mine told me recently it took two hours to get an ambulance to his house in Kent after his wife collapsed with serious stomach pains.
