haha yes!
rife, its True not just with our Departments but with other 'support services' such as supplies, pathology, estates, catering, portering
There are tax benefits (20%!!!!) reclaimable by outsourcing a service which means we in effect if operating under the Trust have to do it 20% more effectively. I dont particularly care who I work for, regardless it has to be money well spent and public money at that.
Thanks for the above Geoff, I will come back to this thead and post my humble consolidation of 'Service Specs' offered from what you have provided as well as the comments from myself and others.
I note that John has posted "The future state of EBME", I've read the comments there which are of interest, but I would like to take it further to the point of drafting up such a specification/description.
