BBC News has done some great research and reporting on staff
shortages at the Accident and Emergency Departments up and down the country.
I’ve posted the full list on my other Blog;
Meanwhile;
Here’s our local league table.
Am I alone in thinking that the number of unfilled vacancies reflect the
unhappiness staff feel at working in a hospital’s A and E, the quality of life
staff have and ultimately the quality of care patients receive?
This league table of shame is
in reverse order;
A
and E staff % short Vacancies
13th Worst
Ashford and St Peters 97 -17%
-16
23rd worst
Heatherwood and
Wexham Park 136 -12% -17
34th Worst
West Middlesex 92
-10% -9
53rd Worst
Royal Surrey 87 -8% -7
90th Worst
Epsom and St. Helier 182 +2%
100th Worst
(out of 101!)
Frimley Park 122
+9%
If you were to ask people
locally to rank their hospital trusts, you would get a league table fairly
similar to this.
If you were to work out
quality of treatment/outcomes, I would guess it would be fairly similar to this
too.
So, although my headline slogan
is still for 10 consultants at St. Peter’s A and E, that’s not enough – we actually
need 17 more staff and counting!
