I have done a straw poll per telephone today and the SHA's around the country have been tasked with hitting the 4 hour rule within a year. However there is a massive exodus of staff grades into GP land, can't blame them. If this is the case how can this objective be achieved or is it a pipedream. BTW are our distinguished leaders in the Faculty of BAEM doing anything about it?
2 or 3 years ago I used to get our colleagues in GP land queuing up to come and do sessions in A&E now they just don't want to do it for love or money. Better paid as police surgeons, Blood transfusion and prison service. Is it me or is it the experience of of my colleagues?
