I can't remember the title of the recent thread about the NHS - so I am starting this new one - sorry!
I have just been trying to help a friend claw her way through the care system for her Mum and I set about trying to find where the local services for elderly people with dementia are now based. I used to work for them many years ago when they were part of the hospital service.
I discovered that they are now a separate NHS trust called - wait for it......“2gether NHS Foundation Trust”. As if such a ridiculous title were not enough their totally asinine slogan is “Making life better”. (Note to Gransnet HQ - we really do need a finger down throat icon!!!) Do they need a slogan at all I ask myself? Might they not be better off just doing the d* job?
How can we be expected to take seriously or have any faith in organisations that are so visibly and obviously all about "spin"? It truly is quite nauseating.
I feel quite depressed about it - I remember what a good service we provided, all pulling together as part of an NHS team. Sigh.
