Ripe for private sector outsourcing. Reduce costs, improve effectiveness.
I was involved with care for the elderly. For money. Just like you.
Amazing. Actually lauged out loud then. Exactly how would private sector outsourcing of a support worker reduce costs and improve effectiveness?
I assumed you were joking at first... but, since it's you...
Just like nurses, just like paramedics, just like any job that isn't a volunteer role. Yeah, I know what employment is, Orgs.
How long did you do that for?
Was it private or public sector?
Was it actually 'care' or 'support' work that you did? - there's a large distinguishable difference, which you'd know as someone who was involved in care for the elderly. For money. Just like me.
He's used this line before, a while back (long before covid).
Nurses were being praised, which he didn't like, didn't like that one bit. So started on some silly guff about how none of them were doing it for the love of the job and for caring, but it was for the money. And he was definitely right because they were getting paid. If they were doing it for the love then they'd be doing it for free.
Nonsense and full of holes but he loves to punch down on anyone he thinks he's better than .
Yep. I wonder if his decades of caring for the elderly in the private sector for free (we have to assume) has caused this delusion of grandeur that he has? He really doesn't like the common man, does he?
The genius also wants to outsource my job to the private sector which would apparently make me work harder (sorry, more "effectively") and get paid less for the privelige too. It makes total sense
It's like a check list of things you can tick off isn't it with the virus deniers (I call them that because that's what they were a few months ago).
Incidentally, on my walk just now, I passed a house which had four large sheets of tin foil pegged to a washing line - seems the elite/lizards have been working overtime recently with the brainwashing.
My darling wife chipped a veneer from a front tooth the other day. Called the dentist who of course is not able to work right now. He suggested a do it yourself kit as a temporary repair. He dropped it off to us on his way home from work, looked at my wife's tooth from a distance to check it was OK for the repair, gave us instructions, all part of the service!
Another example of healthcare workers doing more then their fair share
Am I self-isoI don't have any symptoms and never have - but as I live alone I suppose that I am self-isolating by default.
Why are people still engaging with Organ? The man has outed himself as being thick and a **** at the start of this. I wouldnt waste my time reading the drivel he posts.
Apparently China did full tests including ct scans and had the results back and acted on those results within 4 hours.
Some people might think the percentage chances were some what the other way around.
A diagnosis by a good doctor in the field might well be 90% accurate, yet the test we have been using is only 70% accurate so they say.
Not sure what happened there!
Crikey, I thought you may have a nibble but not scoff the hook, line and rod with three responses. Did you stamp your feet too?
I assumed you were joking at first... but, since it's you...
You tried to misdirect me with waffle designed to portray yourself as altruistic while carefully omitting the prime objective of your activities which isn't to aid others but to benefit yourself by collecting the folding stuff at regular intervals. Being a money mercenary is rather grubby, isn't it?
Had to chuckle at your contempt for my suggestion that the taxpayer might save a few bob and be provided with a better, more efficient service under privatisation. That amounts to heresy for those who don a red-coloured ra ra skirt and pom poms when a General Election's due.
I don't recall mentioning nurses pre-COVID other than to remark there were a high percentage of Jumbo-sized ones at hospitals I had visited and I expressed surprise as they, along with doctors, should be aware of the dangers of obesity more than anyone else. You are more familiar with my posting history than I though so am prepared to stand corrected.
On that theme you'll be gutted to learn I'm in terrible shape health wise and have been for four days. I can't step out 'cause I look like something out of a Hammer film! Much more of it and I'll have to seek the help of one or more of them and I won't care if they're twice the size of Hattie Jacques.
The second illness was the one that my partner was tested for. We both knew it was tonsillitis, but the diagnosis was done over the phone by a nurse (no doctor).
"Do you have a cough?" "Yes, because of the sore throat"
"Do you have a temperature" "No"
"Self-isolate for 1 week, and anyone else in the house for 2 weeks". We explained that the throat was red with spots, classic signs of infection.
First illness we didn't even consult the doctor but self-isolated "just in case".
I'm with you nowadays, Bobsy. Mark Drakeford knows best for all of us in Wales. In him we trust.
I only hope you're prepared to dig in for a very long time. Some are already wobbling.
The fact that nurses get paid does not make them mercenaries. How do you come to that conclusion, other than quoting that that's precisely why you did the job you did?
The concept that every single nurse does it for the money, and the money alone, is as daft as people claiming that every single nurse does it out of a sense of doing the right thing.
I wonder if you would make the same assumptions about other career choices. For example, are people in the military also mercenaries?
Gosh you have a good memory. The URL suggests he posted that in 2015
You had a chuckle because you're on the verge of madness. You haven't got a clue, Organ
Who is paying for the support in this pie-in-the-sky thinking, Orgs? You must have forgotten to tell me how you think it would work. Is the cost passed on to the "customer"? Are you just reducing wages for staff to lower costs? Are you getting rid of the office that I work from to reduce rent and utility costs (my... home... office?) Come on, man... you've got all of the answers, share them with the rest of us.
The irony in all of this is that you dislike me in this scenario because you think I get paid too much just because I work in the public sector, but if you knew how much I actually get paid for a living, you'd look down your nose at me for not being paid enough
HAHAHA! I apologise for saying this shtick wasn't funny for the first dozen times - this one has turned me around.
Organ Morgan, you old card!
If somebody had a persistent cough and high temperature in the climate as it was a few weeks back then a doc might assume that person has it and that assumption according to what seemed to be a 'real' expert on the box at the time was likely to be 90% accurate yet the test we had was only 70% accurate at the time.
If the doc thought it was CV what would he say ?, self isolate (and as a consequence in some cases possibly give it to your family).
Perhaps that is why we were not testing/reluctant to test as just talking to someone was more accurate than our limited science, different in China as when they got their act together they were apparently doing real proper testing and acting on the result in a few hours and proper isolating, real isolating not stay in the house with your family job but taking the person away to a medical facility.
Why are there reports that the government(s)will have great difficulty recruiting the thousands of people needed to run "Test track and Trace" when there are reports at the same time of huge unemployment?
Given that they think the majority of newly unemployed will be from younger age groups wouldn't they be those with the better computer skills?
On test accuracy my wife said the testers were really thorough and it really was pleasant at all. She was even given one of those sick cartons as they go so deep down the throat to get a swab.
She really doubts everyone doing a home test will do it properly.
I may be wrong but I think it may be that these jobs will be work from home and you will need to have some specific computer prog available at home ( sorry not much of an IT expert.)
