Dear Richard, absolute poetry my friend, In my experience, most of the true professionals are on the middle rung with no where to go, usually because the rung above them is occupied by an Estates Manager or some other Bod who are totally clueless to the important role all our fellow co-efficient's play within the NHS. Oh sufferance my friends, sufferance.
These people should be held to account if our good selves cannot meet the standards recommended,as Richard says, "they are obliged by law".
Not meeting the standards due to poor funding, training, and staffing levels.
My Friends, we need technical independence and representation, right up to the top level.
