Time out
I have to apologise for the recent lack of activity here. A sudden attack of ennui, in addition to personal issues caused me to take time out from this blog for the past month, triggered by the bullish unwillingness of people to listen. Frustration creeps in occasionally at the brazen shamelessness of the lies.
A lot has been said & done over the past month including the resignations of Richard Granger & Patricia Hewitt. There are some however who cannot be helped & the only thing I can do is to try to hold them to account in whatever way I can.
The NHS & the Dept of Health are public service organisations & should be run to deliver benefit to us all. Any part of this machine that deviates from those ideals needs corrective action to being it back into line. Poor decisions taken by people with questionable motivation & those made by following poor directions rigidly certainly fall under this category.
Since it appears that the normal checks & balances that would act to govern such acts of omission or commission are being ignored and there seems to be no appetite for effective supervision of rogue departments, the public are entitled to know just what is going on.
I am being driven to the conclusion that linking individual names to the action under scrutiny is one of the few tools available to the public. Let us see if it makes a difference. This lady for one seems to be doing well with this strategy.
But on the first day of the new administration & with changes expected at the top, I hope to resume regular service & keep an eye on the movers and shakers.
