I feel the situation would be helped if it wasn't a career imperative to change jobs frequently - and always long before any results could be anticipated from the manager's last initiatives. We are now in the in the middle of the third major reorganisation since the PCTs merged in the last restructuring of PCTs - in which we were merged with two other PCGs only 2 years IIRC after the HA had been split into 4 PCGs! At every split and merger, we lose administrators: sadly, often the best of them. How about looking at the structures and career paths as well? Mary > >Jeff > -- Mary Hawking
