Ridiculous NHS advert for Director for Lived Experience

I just can’t believe that in the current state of the NHS an NHS Trust is advertising for a “Director for Lived Experience”, whatever that is. Surely taxpayers money would be better spent on front line services, reducing backlogs and treating more patients. Who gives the go ahead for these ridiculous “non-jobs” to be advertised? At a salary of £115,000 per annum, several doctors or nurses could be employed instead.
With the nurses currently on strike for better pay surely this type of job advert is a kick in the teeth for them. I am outraged by this and wondered what other gransnetters think?
