Re: Blood pressure
Forth Valley Health Board are a disgrace, too many managers and board officials have ruined it over the last 20 years.
Not one of them has medical qualifications, they're all from business schools and universities with economics degrees.
Every ward has a manager, why ? A Matron used to manage a whole hospital.
Every time you enter a hospital you see them going around with clip-boards trying to look efficient, and there's dozens of them.
If you need an expensive drug to treat an illness they tell you its not on the NHS lists, why don't they sack most of the managers, sell their cars that the NHS has provided and put the cash to where it's needed most, to the patients treatments.
We have become a nation of administrators, and it's not just the NHS, every industry has too many chiefs and not enough indians, I saw that in the last big company I worked for.
