Why dont you like him ?Wes slippery **** Streeting preparing us for 'the harsh truth' his American health lobbyists will have to buy part of the NHS to 'save it.
The NHS report will be the excuse to do it.

I've met him and he comes across as a bit of Narcissistic bully.Why dont you like him ?
The NHS has 1,500,000 staff.
Staff retention, avoiding tribunals, and avoiding complaints from the public, would easily pay for those 800. It's ONE person for nearly 2,000 staff, around 75,000 patients, and around 750,000 contacts with the public every year.
Given they're also involved in making sure there aren't barriers for people from different communities, when accessing the NHS, they're helping with health outcomes on all sides.
To be fair mate I can imagine that a lot of people complain about fire crews being too white when their houses are on fire or they’re being cut out of a car.When the fire service reflects society it isn't good enough for some of these people.
Certainly put down those who have whole life sentencesjust put down the prisoners with more than 5 reoffending offences as they've had their chance and there's no hope for them. That should open up about 25% more prison spaces
So that's one diversity officer for around 3 miles of hospital corridors and all the workplaces off the corridorsWe have tribunals for that, the NHS doesn't need 800 people marching up and down the corridors with clipboards and lecturing faces.
Old bloke doesn’t understand modern world shocker.
You wouldn’t. Acting like one would get you sacked on the first day. Probably saying something about a cervix would get you your P45.I can spot a **** Dibley, I'd make an excellent diversity officer.
In an organisation that big it’s easy to find individual incidents that are wrong but your wife’s experience is not the same as everyone else. I doubt she ever came home and said I did my job today and looked after dying folk. We often pass on the negative experiences and the positive are taken as expected.It’s a bigger, or more nuanced, topic than that. Staff can display a prejudice in all sorts of ways… think about how you are at work. Do you have colleague or customer you find particularly difficult and don’t like dealing with? Same with NHS staff except you’re the customer…maybe demanding pain killers or being a bit awkward etc. It can generate bias and impact your care in subtle and not so subtle ways. It’s hard, it’s human nature but everyone deserves the same level of care.
When Mrs MB was a specialist palliative nurse she would talk of palliative patients being treated dismissively by some staff if their condition could be blamed on life style choices. A classic example being someone with a drug addiction background - “they only want pain relief to feed their addiction” type attitude so they are denied access to pain relief based on these prejudices.
Not sure 800 diversity trainers is enough when you think of it in that context. Is training really the issue though, how do you monitor this sort of behaviour? You have to almost hope it self regulates - which is I guess where @mexico1970 is coming from when he says “don’t be a ****” - these types of behaviour largely only manifest where they can find futile ground in being accepted by others.
