Did anyone else watch the programme about the "troubled" Southern health trust.
I may be biased because I live near Southampton, where it is based, and know someone who has been involved in protests about the operation of the trust as she has two sons who have been treated by it.
But how can someone resign from their job ........ eventually........ because they are no good at it, and then have a £240,000 a year job created for them from nothing. No, I didn't add a 0 - £240,000.
And to hear her say how difficult it has been - she has cried at work, she has cried at home and sometimes has had trouble motivating herself to get up in the morning to go to work. My wife is the head of a Public institution around here, is paid well under half of what this woman has been paid, and yes, it can be difficult sometimes, BUT THAT IS WHY SHE IS PAID £240,000 per year.
I'm quite cross..... and that is a deliberate understatement. Does the NHS not have capability procedures? or other ways of dealing with people who may not be up to the job, which many governors/former governors were suggesting. Either sort it out and confirm that she is competent, or get rid.
PS - this was on BBC south. Might it not have been on in Sussex?
