NHS BOSSES SHELL OUT £16M ON MORE TREATMENT THAT NEVER HAPPENED.

42 MILLION QUID & COUNTING

Fuck me! They are still at it.  another £16m paid for operations that never happened.

 Health bosses, who wasted more than £26m of a £70m contract with South African firm Netcare over the past five years, promised to learn from mistakes. But new figures show about two-thirds of the treatment agreed with another private company Care UK has not taken place.

GPs were supposed to refer 85,500 patients to two mobile units moving around six sites in Greater Manchester each year, but just 25,500 people went to the service in its first year.

Under the new seven-year contract – negotiated and signed by the Department of Health – the region’s 10 health trusts paid for each operation that Care UK performed each month. But at the end of the year they were given a bill for underperformance and made to pay for the rest of their ‘quota’ of treatment.

LOOK AT THAT FIGURE AGAIN FOLKS

£42,000,000 - - -FORTY TWO MILLION FUCKING POUNDS OF OUR MONEY. PISSED UP THE WALL BY THE CLUELESS PAPER SHUFFLING TWATS, WITH THE BRAINPOWER OF A CARROT, AS THEY SIT SMIRKING IN THEIR PRIVATE LITTLE EMPIRES.

THIS JOKE HAS GOT TO STOP. 
This is our money being squandered. What has been revealed is probably only the tip of the iceberg. These people are unfit for purpose and should be removed forthwith. These quangos with their political placemen playing Doctors and Nurses need sweeping away now.

Just think what healthcare we COULD have got for FORTY-TWO MILLION QUID if we had people who cared and understood their 'duty of care,' rather than these parasites whose only 'care' is how much moolah they can squeeze out of us fools. I for one am sick of seeing their mugshots smirking at us in the local press as they congratulate themselves on doing a wonderful job and how proud they are to have been re-appointed to their gold plated positions.

Has anyone any idea how much of our money the Pennine Acute Trust swallows each year?

Is it more or less than the cost of maintaining twenty-three beds?

I DIDN'T KNOW YOU CARED! - - - - - I STILL DON'T!

Following on from the previous posting, read this report from the Oldham Advertiser on an inquest held recently in Oldham. This is the Pennine Acute Trusts version of a duty of care. This is the piss poor organisation headed by the grinning pillock below. This by the way is the same PPO  which recently announced the axing of 23 beds to 'save money'. What the fuck has he to be proud of? What the fuck has he got to smile about?  What fucking use is he and the rest of the quangocracy as they sit vacuously in their fancy offices, filling their boots with our money?

Apology over 'abandoned' patient's death

Mike Keegan Oldham Advertiser

June 08, 2010

Health chiefs have apologised and paid a five-figure compensation sum to the family of a man who was abandoned at a hospital after suffering fatal head injuries.
Arnold Siddall, 47, from Failsworth, was taken to casualty after he fractured his skull during a row outside a bar. But an inquest heard that rather than receiving the treatment that could have saved his life, he was left to wander around the grounds of the Royal Oldham Hospital for 12 hours before eventually being picked up by police. He suffered a fit in the back of a van.  He was taken back to the hospital but died two days later.
As the inquest into Mr Siddall’s death opened at Oldham County Court, the M.E.N. discovered bosses from Pennine Acute Trust apologised to Mr Siddall’s family and paid them compensation after they threatened legal action. 

Mr Siddall, a welder, was pushed over and hit his head on the pavement after going to complain about noise at The Lock bar in Failsworth in 2007.

Paramedics took him to the hospital where he was seen by ambulance triage nurse Joanne Pendleton.

She told the inquest that she did not record that Mr Siddall had suffered a head injury on medical records, only that he seemed intoxicated.

Mr Siddall, who had been drinking earlier that evening, was marked as a priority 3 patient – to be seen within an hour.

But he told staff he wanted to go home and despite falling back into a wheelchair he had been put in, was able to walk out. Security staff told the inquest Mr Siddall was spotted at various points in the hospital grounds until 4.20 that afternoon.

Guards approached Mr Siddall, who had two brothers and four sisters, but thought he was drunk. One saw him fall to the ground with his head in his hands and another time noticed he had vomited but doctors were not told.

Pennine Acute Trust declined to comment on the payout.

Twelve hours  wandering the hospital grounds? And nobody noticed apart from sundry 'security guards' who spent the day spotting Mr Siddall all around the hospital but raised no alarm. He must also have been spotted by several medical personnel. Did anyone care? Did anyone obtain help for the unfortunate man? Why did it take the police 12 hours to pick him up?
Bosses from PAT 'apologised and paid compensation after being threatened with legal action. Is this what they consider to be 'A Duty Of Care?'  Pennine Acute Trust declined to comment on the payout.. I bet they fucking did. Not a great deal they can say is there? 

The grinning pillock Jesky seen below is one of those 'bosses.' Do we want an utter twat like him in charge of a supposedly caring organisation? Do we want to give him £100,000 of our money to preside over fuck-ups like this? 

I don't know about you folks but I certainly don't. So my message to Mr 'Proud to be re-appointed' Jesky is.....FUCK OFF YOU USELESS PRICK!!!

IT'S ONLY MONEY!

 This inanely grinning Japanese sniper we are told is one, John Jesky. He tells us he is delighted to have been re-appointed as chairman of the Pennine Acute Hospitals NHS Trust, for a further four year term. 

This is the Pennine Acute Hospitals NHS Trust, part of NHS Manchester that was revealed only last week to have 'wasted'  £26 Million of our money, paying a private firm for operations that never took place. Just take a minute for that to sink in. We are not talking £26Million overspent on patient care to reduce waiting lists. We are not talking £26Million overspent on more nurses and cleaners in the local hospitals. We are not talking £26Million overspent on hospital admissions and treatment. What we are talking is £26Million of our money handed to a private company for doing nothing. These fucking brainboxes, including this wanker who had a career in the 'food industry', (he couldn't run a chip shop), contracted with South African company, Netcare, to carry out 9,000 operations a year at a cost of £70Million. The dimfucks used fewer than two thirds of the 9,000 contracted for, but under the terms of the contract had to pay for the lot. This tells us all we need to know about the business acumen of these Labour Quango placemen. For the same £26Million we could have employed 1,000 nurses for a year. We could have employed 2,000 cleaners for a year, God knows we need 'em. We could have funded 100,000 overnight stays in hospital. The Wolfson Molecular Imaging Centre in south  Manchester, one of the most advanced cancer research units in the world, cost less to set up. This is a criminal waste of our resources by talentless tossers who have no concept of the meaning of 'care provision' the only thing these chair polishing paper pushers are interested in taking care of is the expansion and protection of their own little empires. We are told the gurning twat pictured here is to receive almost £23,500 p.a. for the next four years of of piss poor part-time work. That's nearly another £100,000 of our money gone on non-essentials. There is scope hear for some huge savings to be made. These quangoes are bleeding us dry. It is time for a cull of all the hangers-on with no relevant experience, the paper pushers, the 'official spokespersons" and the political appointees enjoying the overblown rewards for past favours. Responsibility, accountability and most of all ability are what we need. Did you vote for the vacuous twat to have four more years? Were you asked your opinion on a bunch of pricks who think nothing of simply throwing away £26Million of our money? Who did re-appoint him? I think we know the answer to that question.

Otherwise known as 'THE MOUTH OF THE HUMBER' 

ICKY WICKY: I FEEL SICKY!

 What the fuckety fucking fuck is this infantile crap all about? These, believe it or not are the proposed 'mascots.' for our much anticipated ( by the tosser Coe, at least), London Olympics. The country is on it's knees and we are wasting billions on two weeks of  'compulsory games,' to show the world how good we are at coming fourth.  Does it not make your heart swell with pride to see these representations of all that is best in this country. The names too, are the wet dreams of a failed ad man. Handjob and Mandelson Oh, sorry, Wenlock and Mandeville. Is this La La land crap the best we can come up with in this country?  A bunch of primary school kids could have done better. What do they say about us to other countries? What sort of athletic or sporting connotations do they convey? What they do advertise is the tawdry, talentless, tat obsessed, reality-show mentality that has become the norm. I have no doubt that some 'creative consultants, brand makers and ad agencies' will have creamed off millions of our money to put together this pair of refugees from a nursery of nightmares. It strikes me, a lot, if not all the parasites employed in these 'jobs' are devoid of all talent and intelligence and would be better employed as PCSOs. Can we afford all this profligacy when we are staggering under the huge burden of debt, bequeathed us by the Scottish snot gobbler and his acolytes? I've just had a thought, the two little bags of shite have only got one eye. You don't think the tartan twat himself dreamed the fuckers up while he was barricaded in No 10, do you? Anyhow let them as want it pay for it! It is too much to pay just to keep Coe and the rest of the gravy trainers in champers. Get rid of these fucking joke additions to the Telly Tubbies. Let's have something WE can relate to and have pride in. By the way the blue one is in need of a Brazilian.(Much like Lord Fondlebum of Boy I suppose).

OF COURSE WE'RE EQUALS. FOUR OF YOU EQUALS ONE OF ME!

 JH.   So what exactly will us Tories be doing Howie?

HS   Well Jackie baby, a lot of people have been asking that same question for many years, but the way I see it if you and your crony can organise the pink and orange, dandruff and belly-button fluff, re-cycling bins scheme and if you have any spare time you can take over explaining where Tommyfield has gone and how much longer the Town Hall will remain standing. This would then free up Me, Sykes the immovable and my cronies to run all the other mundane stuff. By the way, don't call me Howie you little Tory turd.

JH   Sorry  Howie, I'm just so excited at the prospects of so much power after all these years.

HS   If all the power goes to your head and you make a fuck up of AllCock's carefully planned re-cycling schemes I'll get you fucking excited. Now get back to your closet office and stop making the place look untidy. By the way did I mention not to call me Howie?

JH   You may have done Howeeeeee!  Ow! That hurts. Squeezing  like that could cut off the circulation.

HS   Call me Howie one more time and it won't be your hand I'm squeezing. Here's something for you to do fuck off quick to the chippy for me elevenses. I've had nowt to eat since me tenses. Get me a double helping of everything. Another couple of inches on me gut and they won't be able to get me out the door. I'll be here for life, he! he! he!

JH   Ok How...Sorry your Lardship  I'm on my way. By the way when we go on the jolly fact finding mission to Torquay for the bin wagon expo, can I ride in the big new shiny car with you?

HS   Can you fuck you cheeky little tosser! Two minutes in the frigging corridor of power and you think you own the place. That's my car, for me only, with nobody else in it, unless I can talk Kay, the peroxide piranha into accompanying me. I'd love to get her in a Dennis Kerbsider.

JH   I didn't know she was interested in wrestling Howie... eeeeeee!  Oooooh! that's nice. It's such a relief when you let go of them.

HS   Fuck off you little scrote. Bother me again and I'll give you a chinese burn. If I need you again before the next election I'll send Charlie to find you. And don't forget, plenty of salt and vinegar, and you might as well get me three buttered muffins while you're there. No, make it four. All this work has made me peckish!

EITHER PUT UP OR SHUT UP!!

 Isn't it about time unelected  hangers-on were banned from parliamentary matters and from participation  in Government. If the Government of the day hasn't got sufficient talent within the elected members, then tough, go suck wind! There are hundreds of overpaid loafers on the benches to fill all positions without having to slide in the likes of the ignorant, arrogant bully Campbell or the twice disgraced arse bandit, Lord Fondlebum of Boy. If these people want to be part of what they jokingly call 'the democratic process', then let them put their money where their mouth is and stand for election. WE the electorate did not vote for all these non-accountable pricks to be running the country. Same goes for non-elected PMs also. Let's filter the mud out of the water. Transparency is what we demand.

ANOTHER SNOUT REMOVED FROM THE TROUGH??

 Another one bites the dust! Just a week or so after being re-elected to parliament, Eric Illsley, the Lab MP for Barnsley Central has been charged with false accounting. Yet another of the tub o' lard school of MPs who've never had a proper job, a union lackey, sponging all his life.

Illsley faces three charges under the Theft Act on suspicion of dishonestly claiming £20,000 in council tax and other domestic charges over three years.

He will appear at City of Westminster Magistrates' Court on June 17

He's the fifth politician to be charged over the expenses scandal. However, he is the only serving MP to have to face charges, after three others quit at the last election.

Keir Starmer, the Director of Public Prosecutions, said the charges allege that “Mr Illsley dishonestly claimed expenses in relation to council tax, service and maintenance charges, repairs and insurance charges, and utilities and communications charges for his second home in Renfrew Road, London”.
 Illsley is alleged to have done this between May 2005 and April 2006, between May 2006 and April 2007, and between May 2007 and April 2008.
Mr Starmer added: “In total the charges allege a sum in excess of £20,000 was dishonestly claimed over this three year period.”
The figure is far higher than previously thought when Illsley's claims were first investigated.
Mr Starmer added: “Mr Illsley now stands charged with criminal offences and has the right to a fair trial. A party spokesman said,  'The thieving bastard  Illsley has now been suspended from the Labour Party.'
He and a few more should be suspended by the neck from Westminster bridge, "pour encourager les autres."
Keep up the good work, investigators.

I SEE, SAID THE BLIND MAN!

Following the last tale of a shitehouse on the fiddle, how come nothing has been said about the accomplices of the thieving bastards, namely the fees office at the House of Conmen. If these faceless wonders hadn't condoned all  the thievery fraud and deceit of the dishonourable members, they wouldn't have got away with it. It's just like everywhere else where public money is handled. It's not theirs so they don't give a shit. Some of these anonymous bastards need investigating. Don't tell me they never suspected any of the claims were bogus. See previous post Illsley: £20,000 over three years! And nobody said a dickey-bird?

THE GREAT BANK ROBBERY!

  Millions of British savers will find the value of their investments wiped out by the increase in the cost of living, financial experts said  after a surprise jump in inflation to 5.3 per cent means that not a single savings account on the market offers an interest rate higher than the cost of living.

None of the 1,660 savings accounts offered by banks or building societies, including the most generous ISAs, offers a real rate of return of more than 5.3 per cent. This is the first time ever that no account has been able to match the rising cost of living, says personal finance website Moneynet.

  The Retail Prices Index jumped from 4.4 per cent in March to 5.3 per cent in April. It  is widely accepted as the truest measure of the cost of living because it includes housing costs. This is the highest level it has been since 1991.

Record prices at the petrol pumps, higher mobile phone and telephone bills, an increase in food and drink prices as well as rising mortgage rates and the cost of clothing are partly to blame. Also fuelling the increase were  tax rises announced in Alistair Darling's last budget, which pushed up the price of alcohol and vehicle duty. The restoration of VAT to 17.5 %  also increased prices on nearly all items on the high street.

Wage increases, which average just 1.9 per cent higher than a year ago, mean most workers are suffering from a significant fall in their standard of living.

Inflation damages savings, because even though the investment can increase in value, it cannot keep pace with the increase in prices on the high street.

Inflation creeps up on you. You think you are getting more money every year, through wage increases or interest earned on your savings, but when you go out and try to spend you money you realise you can't afford what you used to be able to. The bottom line is,

you end up poorer.

Interest earned by a savings account is taxed, so a bank account now needs to offer interest of at least 6.63 per cent for basic rate taxpayers and 8.83 per cent for higher rate taxpayers to make any real return.

There is not a single saving account in the country that offers more than 8 % and just one, from HSBC, that offers more than 6.63 %, but that account has a fee of £15 a month and you must  make regular monthly deposits.

If VAT goes up to 20 per cent savers will be hit even harder.

According to the Bank of England the average savings account pays out a mere 0.18 per cent, while the average cash ISA is paying 0.46 per cent.

Most economists are hopeful that inflation has peaked and will start to fall over the next few months and that the Bank of England will not raise interest rates until next year.

Jonathan Loynes, chief economist at Capital Economist, said: "We continue to expect interest rates to stay where they are for a long time."  Well ain't that just fine & dandy! Your all getting poorer whilst asleep in your beds. Who shall we blame for this one then? Who has had his chewed fingers on our finances for the past 13 years? Why none other than Gordoom McFuckwit Broon. His failure to act in time & to apply the correct measures means we are still in the recessionary shite.
