Dear all
A bit of a coda to my recent request. Turns out that we aren't the only
Trust left in the dark ages - but enough of you are living in the modern
world to make me determined to fight. I have spent this morning hassling our
director of IM&T about the access policy. He has come up with the most
ridiculous reasoning for restricting access I have ever seen: (and I quote)
*I agree with the sentiment of your e-mail but must stress that giving
uncensored "round the clock on-line access" to the internet is really a
decision for the Trust Board to make and in doing so they will no doubt want
to weigh up the potential benefits and disbenefits e.g better informed staff
Versus less time spent on direct patient care etc.*
Has anyone out there come across this argument - and can you suggest some
punchy responses?
Thanks, as ever
