NHS and Education

I hate to say I told you so but I am afraid In did several times, the word care has to be put back into the NHS, the Francis report is damming of Mid Staffs Hospitals and rightly so but the fact that no staff whatsoever have been disciplined is a disgrace you can't work without responsibility, be it a CEO or a Porter all have a responsibility in the care of a patient, but  here we have a total disregard to care replaced by the desperate need to meet targets whatever the cost, so who will learn from this debacle?, hospital trusts probably not as they are now on a massive save money campaign, so who will be used as a saving why of course the patient, the patient who is lying in a bed who in a lot of cases can't complain because they are to ill to, so if you can't care or do not have the time to make a noise tell the management they are responsible they carry the can, but if you stay quiet you carry it do you want to?, I think not.

I supported a Head Teacher a couple of years ago, a great man in my eyes, a great teacher who I can't speak highly enough, he resigned from his post through no fault of his own who has now moved on, his school that he left was on a satisfactory rating by Ofsted is now inadequate really good for the children their education has slipped and all the governors and head can do is claim that the school is improving, the news on the street is not so rosy many parents have spoken to me saying that the school and the education it offers is rubbish their words not mine, what a sad situation for the children, one thing for sure the school will go on its merry way with the same inadequate teaching that it has now and sad to say had before, one really great bit of news the old head moving on has a new school that has progressed tremendously so much so that he has been voted teacher of the year in the town that the school is in, says a lot to me!!.
