Tell us the Truth and what you really want Mr Johnson, lets face it you keep sending mixed
messages.
3 weeks ago you claimed that there could be a "Franchise" arrangement for "Failing Hospitals"
and how unfortunate was it that Hinchingbrooke was used as an example.
It is a Top 40 Hospital in the UK and is in the Top 5 for Patient satisfaction so they meet the
QUALITY criteria that was laid out yesterday.
Let me broaden the argument, 3 weeks ago it was Hinchingbrooke bashing due to the Government induced historic debt which moves Hinchingbrooke to fill a "Failing" criteria
yet on the 30th June 2008........Hinchingbrooke would qualify for £7-9m extra funding due
to the quality of its services...............so in essence, if Hinchingbrooke were given say £7m this year 2008/09 and kept the performance to receive the same amount in 2009/10 that would
in effect clear the £14m historic debt..............
So why do we need a "Franchise" or Takeover?.................er we don't.............
ON FRIDAY 4TH JULY, THERE IS A MEETING BETWEEN THE OVERVIEW & SCRUTINY COMMITTEE AND HINCHINGBROOKE.............
IN THE PAPERS FOR THE MEETING THERE IS HIDDEN THE CASE FOR THE "TAKEOVER" BUT AND THIS IS A BIG BUT...............THERE WILL BE A CONSULTATION BUT NOT A FULL ONE AND AFTER THIS "ARRANGEMENT" HAS BEEN SORTED OUT
IT IS LIKE BEING IN ZIMBABWE ..........ONLY ONE OUTCOME.................
WE NEED TO ACT NOW..........
