The Chief Executive of the Royal Cornwall Hospitals Trust (RCHT) has warned its 5,000 staff that they need to make savings this year of £26 million. That means losing 200 jobs and cutting the budget by 15% in back-room departments and a further 10% in front-line services. Unions are up in arms because they fear that many of their members are being downgraded as they are told to reapply for less senior jobs. Said one radiographer: “We suspect people will be downgraded to Band 6 but still doing the Band 7 role, on less money.”

But not everyone seems to be onside with the savings message. A Cornish TPA supporter passes on the discontent of a Truro nurse. Despite the impending cuts, the RCHT hospital at Truro is investing in a computer programme designed to allow nurses and other front line staff to upload their thoughts and written reports on a screen above their desk ‘to flash the news for all to see’.

“Another unnecessary job to add to the workers’ day. What fun the desk-bound management section have,” noted our informant. “I am not sure how this new project works, but to cut staff and install expensive equipment that create work seems to be unproductive, unnecessary, or silly.”

If it is anything like Truro’s 49-page ‘Policy and Procedure for Being Open’, highlighting the need for interpersonal skills in a hospital, or the 10-day management jolly disguised as ‘New Horizon Thinking’ to promote leadership skills among middle and senior hospital managers, it really should be the first in line for the chop.

It is certainly fascinating to note the cost of computer equipment and services last month at the RCHT—a total of £201,867.41 in just one month. Just when the Chief Executive is asking for cuts in staff and wages.

Don’t Let Crisis of Japanese Earthquake Go To Waste! Natural Disaster or Local Agenda 21 Eugenics Programme Acceleration?

By Neil Foster – The Sovereign Independent -

As if the Japanese people haven’t suffered enough from the effects of radiation contamination going back to the two criminal bombings of WW II, they’re now having to contend with a nuclear disaster on their own terms which is looming on their Eastern seaboard and which it is reported could even contaminate the West coast of America.

This is of course blamed on that well know natural phenomenon of the earthquake which is a recurring feature in this region. However, when we consider the scale of this earthquake and the consequential fallout, if you’ll pardon the pun, we perhaps need to take a closer look at exactly what’s happening here.

The earthquake in itself, for the moment, we’ll take as a natural occurrence. The reasons for questioning this will be look at later. Suffice to say that the insanity of man has the capability to cause such disasters unnaturally and has done for decades. The 35 page report below is clear evidence from many sources, including the military, that weapons are available to cause such ‘natural’ disasters as volcanoes, earthquakes, tsunamis, floods and severe storms. This is not science fiction and the fact that it is stated in these documents that they can cause such devastation should be taken as proof that they must have tested these weapons somewhere on this planet, conceivably more than once to determine their operational effectiveness. This being the case, where and when did they test them and are they still doing so?
