How you can dismiss the specific experience of senior people is beyond me.
According to Firefly:- "The extra money just went on higher wages for existing staff. A root and branch shakedown is required and where possible the services should be privatised or at a minimum have the existing hospitals competing with each other."
1. The wages for every public hospital were reduced years ago through Croke Park and Haddington Road Agreements and have not recovered since. Sorry Firefly, wherever the money went, it didn't go on wages.
You're right...the ludicrous levels of absenteeism mean nothing
It is strange that absenteeism for nurses is a multiple of that of doctors considering that they are working in the same environment and doctors work much longer hours.
I am sure once "three senior people" have worked out which it is, they will implement a cunning plan to sort things out. I have every confidence in this sophisticated level of organizational thinking and change management. I bet they have Harvard MBAs.
Have you considered the fact that private hospitals don't tolerate poor performers or bizarre work practices?

Let's call a spade a spade...staff are overpaid and too many of them are lazy and overly-unionised.
Probably the most ill thought out and downright offensive comment on this thread todate. Proof please (or at least source). Are you also saying that hospital staff should not be members of trade unions?
I am surprised at your difficulty grasping this. But, no fear - Gordon will explain it more fully (and simply) in his up-coming Ladybird Book ("A Spade is a Spade").
That's not evidence that's anecdote.
I have plenty of "laughable" stories from the private sector too.
I see plenty of people working to the bone, doing the work of 2-3 people who have not been replaced, working within a Dickensian infrastructure
our IT system is archaic and we still have to use ledgers for many things.
