Re: The Cost of A&E Locum Doctors
Well having been a patient and accompanying patients to A&E I would suggest removing the drunks and mental health problems from this system would be a good start. I saw a lovely Doctor and two nurses horribly treated by two drunks last time I was there and apart from drinking too much there was nothing wrong with either of them they just didn't need A&E services.Re: The Cost of A&E Locum Doctors
That sounds a very good idea. Would the hospital staff need to divert attention to check on them though? What if one of the drunks choked whilst being kept there - the hospital could be held liable. Maybe better to just call the police and have them removed and kept in a cell overnight at the police station.Re: The Cost of A&E Locum Doctors
I am pretty certain we have enough unemployed people who could look after the cells in exchange for their benefits, we already have them working in supermarkets helping private businesses so why not use them to help the public sector in some way ?Re: The Cost of A&E Locum Doctors
Re: The Cost of A&E Locum Doctors
Well nothing says it has to be health care, prison or police cells or some sort of separate drunk tank could be used.Re: The Cost of A&E Locum Doctors
