Double Trouble
Friends and readers. First we had Bullying now we have class A drugs. What is our caring sharing Health and Social Care Department to do.
Seemingly unable or unwilling to admit to their obvious inadequacies,this monolithic department descends into melt down at any kind of problem it faces.
Only concerned for their own positions in their ivory tower, a clean out is long overdue. What must director Mr. Gabbitas think about all this or does he even know.
It appears he has no control over his empire allowing incompetent management to botch up any kind of staffing issue.If our friends in the press were to look under the veneer of painted on respectability the worms would jump out of the can to reveal a mess at the heart of this over manged department.
Institutionalised bullying,very low staff moral,intimidation and harassment of staff to cover up management imcompetance,the list goes on,and all this on the backs of the taxpayers money,surely time has come for an independent public enquiry into the running of this department,with it being broken up into smaller accountable units open to public scrutiny within the communities they are supposed to serve.
We now have a vehicle for scrutiny in the guise of the newly formed Community councils,where members are elected from within their own Communities,and sit together with elected members to serve the interests of the Community.
The very thought of this would strike fear into the hearts of those that are supposed to serve the public but really only serve their own greasy pole careers. Pilton Sucks believes that Community Council scrutiny with advice from elected members would be a good start,with those charged to manage this disjointed department mandated to attend C/C meetings to explain how they are spending taxpayers money in the communities they serve.
The benefits are obvious,elected members could show they were leading the way in department accountability by supporting Community Council scrutiny and making sure those charged with public service do just that instead of hiding away in the leaky Waverley Court,using their policies and procedures as a barrier to prevent anybody seeing in.
Pilton Sucks is not alone in thinking time has come for more public scrutiny and accountability,we are told there are a number of elected members that are of the same mind and can see the advantages of such a scheme.
If there is nothing to hide then there should be no objection to such a scheme,but as we all know that is not the case and strenuous objections would be made to any kind of dismantling of their power and secrecy.
Pilton Sucks believes in all Council Departments being opened up to closer public scrutiny,helping our elected members to make sure these departments operate properly and openly.
