OK, John, what your counsel to our unfortunate three-year man, I wonder? How about, take it up with his HR people?
I do not know our Three-year man Geoff. Yes, I know your implying that is minimal experience, but let me add, I or you do not know his experience from previous employment. It would be unfair to judge when not in possesion of all the facts.
It does not require every biomed dept. to go private, but every department should have achievable SLA's. As long as the they are correctly resourced (which management should establish when setting up the SLA's) the depts should strive to reach these targets.
If they fail, and only then should the route to privatise the failing dept. be considered. I feel you are very cavalier on this topic Geoff. An efficient,fully functioning in-house EBME dept.should always be able to fend off private competition for the simple fact that they do not need to make a profit.
