Holiday Time

I know professionals require time off, but unpaid carers and the cared for don’t stop requiring socialising etc during the long Xmas break. It is not beyond the ken of authority to have people stagger their holidays through this season. For instance, those with out young families, those not Christian (we don’t stop the world for other religions holy days).

Obviously, the staff should get time off in lieu. If you think about it the NHS lose about 4% of their yearly routine ops time due to Xmas closures. As for bed blocking over this time, the mind boggles.

PS; told I wasn’t writing enough blogs, so expect a lot more, mainly about local issues…
