Something to do with putting our medical records electronically on some super dooper computer.

Oh and they were DSA :no no
I Wrote-During Covid-Which is still relevant now
It's good to get these types of threads, the ridiculous my manager said bollox, so we can reassure ourselves that while the world is falling apart, Royal Mail managers are still being the low-life C***S they have always been.

The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.

The only thing I've delivered from the NHS recently has been that bloody "Quit Kit" ( as fan of smoking, I'm not happy about it & the fact it's been sent by UK Mail is an extra twist of the knife - I'm gonna need a huge pay rise pdq to cover the cost of all the fags I need to smoke in protest....mind you, they haven't found someone to replace Crozier yet, have they? :hmmmm )
I don't suppose your mouth bleeds every 28 days, does it?

Very frustrating that the NHS wont even use us. When one state run company uses the competition of another state run company, you know somethings not right.

Why are they undermining RM, do they want us to fail?

When your body fails through over work at RM you are free to use BUPA as opposed to the NHS

Thats the beauty of the free market.

The NHS is definitely not free.

How much does a lifetime of NI contributions amount to?

People moan about tax dodgers and uemployed leeching off the state. How about the perenially ill or smokers or...

Thats an argument a cynic could use is it not?

Or even those who have offshore tax Havens, those self employed who claim that their better halves are working for them, those who are paid huge salaries but still claim unwarranted expenses against the state/ I could go on and on about how the rich leech off the state.

The only benefit of using Bupa is getting seen quicker.

But you see the same specialist at Bupa as you would on the NHS isnt that called moonlighting they must be minted.

That and the squeaky clean purpose built hospitals with adequate nursing cover.
But using private health insurance undermines the NHS and (like DSA with us) will ultimately destroy it.
The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.
