It's so irritating to see no real changes in how the health service is being run. My local hospital (which shall remain unnamed) is badly understaffed because of the poor facilities and reputation of the hospital and the previous recruitment campaigns were not working.

Just blogged about this myself. No one would disagree that there is plenty of waste in the HSE. There appears however to be a lack of management ability to actually tackle the root causes, rather than the "slash and burn approach adopted to date" Funny that. Just blogged about this myself.

They have two many 'big chiefs' in there and not enough 'indians'. Harney needs to 'nuke' the whole of the HSE and start again. Or they could go 'voluntary' like she's proposing the public should do - to bale her out of trouble when her co-bloody-located hospitals come on stream! Regards, Steph Damien
