@katemasters67 @jarmann @rivkahmiar @curethenhs At ALL times. It's a legal requirement. Not a corner that can be cut, regardless of pressure
@JFr4ser Don't pretend to understand all factors, but it feels to me like clinical opinion is being placed under pressure to bend by targets

@C7RKY < you might be delayed getting ultrasound to confirm or ERCP to remove. -
@JFr4ser then we should fund all life-threatening requirements. Not interested in pretty charts saying 4hr target met if patient died later! -
@C7RKY Agree. And in trusts with good financial & operational planning that happens to a large degree. Invariably still have restrictions -
@JFr4ser This is a fascinating chat I could continue for some time, but going to take my little boy to the park now, so catch you later. :) -
@C7RKY Enjoy. A better way to spend the afternoon. Just to be clear I offer no defence for events at MidStaff
-
@JFr4ser Thanks. I understand. And to be clear on my part, I am not one of the MidStaffs group. My story lies elsewhere. Have a good day :)
