Well, there is me, right here.
With the lowest staff budget per patient of the whole of N&E Devon HA,
and a simple refusal from the FInance and Information Dept there to
take any notice of the impending failure of computer hardware and
requirement to replace software...
It is difficult to prove that one is being punished for being outspoken
and for opposing losses in patient confidentiality, but I may yet find
it worth trying.
I feel quite relaxed about slanging off the IT department of N&E Devon
since I have yet to find anyone in a senior position there who can use
a computer for such abstruse functions as e-mail, or indeed thinks that
that would be useful. <counting...>
