I am not being personal. I am challenging a system that has failed and is failing its employees. As for the seriousness of this issue, this does not pertain to the position of ordinary employees but affects health care. In the aforementioned huge system there is a huge disconnect. Plans are unfurled and one must dig into them to find out the small items of concern to oneself. They are delivered with huge volumes of paper and there is no consultation. Clearly, as stated again at this meeting, there is no consultation with stakeholders or those on the front line. There is no proper workforce planning, except for endless reports, while health and safety issues are being ignored. It is criminal.
