Meeting this morning with health leaders; no doubt working out how much more health work they can push into the private sector now that the NHS can’t cope. Safe in their hands!! Like f..k. They have successfully destroyed the jewel in the crown. Barstewards.

The BMA weren’t invited?

Said it before, lessons must be learned, there's only one way for this filth.

The BMA understand the problem so the government won't talk to them.

A friend of mine was an undertaker. He retired a few years ago, but was asked earlier this year if he could return on a part time basis, which he agreed to.

He is now full time, and he told me he has never known anything like it at the moment. Bodies are stacked up in their mortuary, they go to hospitals to pick up bodies, there are 15 or so vehicles lined up outside, which he has never known before, and it's not unusual to be informed the body they need to collect has been transferred to another hospital mortuary miles away because there wasn't any room left at the hospital they were reporting at.

Ambulances are queing up on the way in, and hearses are queing up for the deceased on the way out.

There are currently no hospital mortuary spaces in the Greater Manchester area.

I know of one hospital mortuary has invoked emergency continuity plans and currently has over 50 bodies stored in a temporary overspill mortuary that is basically a sports hall/training area.

Don't get me wrong, it's all perfectly safe & legit with the correct specialist storage equipment, but it highlights the issue and whilst I've seen the overspill in use before, never to the capacity it's at now.

Now that's efficiency that the private sector could only dream about

How does this make sense? Why would there be a delay in letting hearses collect bodies?

There might be more need for a post mortem if someone has died waiting for a bed, and maybe a wait for the pm, but the undertaker will not be called until a death certificate has been issued.

Councils had temporary mortuaries prepared during Covid but most weren't needed, so why would this be happening now?
