I just heard on the news that the HSE plan to cut back on A&E overheads by introducing a policy where emergency services will only be available from certain hospitals on rotation. The A&E departments of all our major hospitals are grossly overcrowded and have been for some time. Not enough trolleys, not enough nurses, not enough doctors...not enough A&E departments to go around.
Yes, the HSE is right as usual...A&E is a huge drain on HSE resources.
But why stop there I suggest. Why not just refuse to take any more patients. Patients, in my opinion, are the biggest drain on the precious HSE purse!
Get rid of the patients and you halve the bill immediately. Firstly you dont need nurses. Saving! You dont need half as many catering staff (since they will only be catering for staff). Saving! Fuel bills, food bills, laundry bills. Cut by two thirds. Saving Saving Saving.
The HSE could offer voluntary redundancy to staff in Adminstration, maintenance and junior doctors thus cutting the cost of the wage bill that the public are so fond of harping on about. Saving.
What about consultants and senior HSE staff I hear you ask! Well obiously they will have to be retained. Its a hospital after all! You cant have a hospital without consultants and managers....How silly of you!

maybe they could accept the patients but kill them after they've taken a bed for more than an hour. imagine the increase in turnover, of both patients and undertaker's profits!!!
Good to see you getting your blogging hands dirty at last ;-)
