What causes inefficiency in the NHS?
It’s lack of retention of experience, expertise & knowledge.
High staff turnover means that many things are repeated, the systems slow
Higher numbers of lower paid, lesser trained staff lead to safety issues with higher demand
It’s simple🤷🏻♂️

If you need a good laugh this Sunday afternoon, may I suggest this 10 minute clip
Today I asked the former council Tory candidate, who has gone to live in Russia on an “anti-woke” visa and whose business wants others to do the same, what so attracted him to live under the kleptocratic, murderous Russian regime. This was our exchange.

Added another dashboard on my site on PISA data for the UK and Ireland since 2009. NI was ahead of both England and ROI for maths in 2009 and has since fallen behind; driven by a decline in grammar schools from 2009-15, and then another decline in secondary schools.

Let’s never forget rationing ventilators and Zoom funerals. Boris Johnson and his cronies partied while our loved ones lay dying alone. COVID-19 was the worst public health crisis in a century. We should have locked down earlier. To some of us, PPE was not a get-rich-quick commodity.
