Health Services vagary - Who remembers 'The Canterbury Model now?

This news broke last week but was ‘embargoed’ until Monday why one wonders does the Minister only do a five day week?

One cannot help thinking that things are deteriorating I hope I’m wrong. NHS Dental care has been hived of NHS facilities at Nobles closed and there is a brouhaha about Consultants pay. It's hard not to see health service morale being further battered. Oh! Have health workers had their pay settled yet?

Most people will not lament the loss of a PPU for a period but is is bound to make the Islands Health service unattractive to some good consultants and the article alludes to dissatisfaction will that knock on into NHS care - who knows.

The continuing uncertainties make you wonder what comes next! Is there a concealed agenda?

The announcement is hedged around with vagary I thought we had left all that behind us with Kate….and Howard. Anyone remember ‘the Canterbury Model that was ‘going to benefit future generations’ and that trudge by Howard Quayle out to New Zealand - that was only three years ago.

Images: Is the 'financial doctor driving this as well?
