observer Posted April 27, 2008 Report Share Posted April 27, 2008 There is a war going on in our hospitals, and like all wars. it requires the total focusing of the Nation's resources to fight it. Unfortunately, the current dysfunctional (semi-privatised) organisational nature of our NHS, means we a losing the battle against C-Dif; with folk dying in our hospitals at the rate of one every hour; and the world's highest death rate for over 65s. Perhaps it's time Government and all our Institutions had a shot in the arm of applied discipline, clear lines of accountability and responsibility, in house cleaning regimes (no more out-sourcing); and punitive action on incompetance. We also need to realise, that our reliance on broad spectrum anti-biotics has a downside, they kill the good bacteria that kills the bad bacteria, and like all organisms they can mutate and adapt to survive what we're throwing at them. So, at the moment, it seems we're losing the war. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

observer Posted April 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2008 It's a paper exercise, with most workers now spending most of their time massageing the figures to suit the Government, but the practical realities are somewhat different.
