No anaswers but that is now happening in Scarborough as well. We are approaching the 90% target from the wrong direction. For years, we only ever had a four hour wait over bank holidays. Now we have this regularly during the week due to diversion. From the gossip in the trust, we have been getting questions from Lammy as to why our figures are getting worse month on month. We have been telling them to give us some space for the last two years but we are not allowed to say! Perhaps the figures will help? I doubt it. Rather we will be accused of failing as we were when we complained about having to fiddle our WL figures! We have now had an investigation sacked the three whistle blowers and have been dragged through the local press. >Colleagues >Our minor side is now frequently becoming a medical ward. When I was first appointed consultant over 14 years ago it ran very efficiently and we could zip through the walking wounded. Bums never sat sat very long on seats usual thing. No need for Trick and treat. During the last 18 months the whole thing has gone pear shaped. Due to excessive demand we now routinely cramp beds into the cubicles and the whole system becomes log jammed with Ambulances waiting to decamp their patients. > >Next month we are going to be assessed viz the 4 hour targets. I suspect we will pass with over 90% compliance as the powers that be will cram even more beds into the unit, including my office. > >Seriously though have the list got any solutions? > >Danny Mcgeehan > > >________________________________________________________________________ >This email has been scanned using the MessageLabs SkyScan antivirus >system.
