What other management were there during 2005 and to date. What was their salary, yearly increase and bonus's. What are their names.
I would like to know the information for each person individually and for each year they were there to date.
I would also like to know why, when the hospital was in such deficit and failing, was anyone at all given a bonus.
I would also like to know the name of the person dealing with this request.
Yours faithfully,
Helen Ellis

Dear Slh Boardsecretary (SOUTH LONDON HEALTHCARE NHS TRUST),
What a surprise, have had to send another reminder that by law this should have been replied to BY 14TH February. Every other trust seems to manage the deadlines.
Yours sincerely,
Helen
Dear South London Healthcare NHS Trust,

I note: "In dealing with both formal and informal complaints the Trust takes into account the six Principles form Remedy as defined by the *Parliamentary* and *Health* *Service**Ombudsman*. It appears most public services endorse the PHSO Priciples , which she rarely uses. The Trust plans to update the Complaints Policy in 2008/2009 specifically to include the Principles for Remedy.
Have plans to update been carried out?
Some reality surfacing at last! An article from this morning’s Telegraph.
Could be worth keeping an eye on Lansleys performance today. General concenus: “Why should Lansley speak with the Nurses? Because that's his JOB. That's partly why we pay him over £100 Grand a year and if HE can't explain in words that nurses can take on board and understand why so many of them need to loose their jobs whilst their non-clinical Managers sit it out, then he shouldn't be in the job. If Dave and George are really committed to cutting waste from the Public Budget, I think we've found our first candidate.”
A little light at the end of a very long tunnel….or maybe just another mirror! But “The structures are there - unfortunately too many managers are appointed from clinical specialities with little or no training in management and those that have some ability get constantly denigrated by the media as a drain on resources compared to the "wonderful nurses & doctors" on the "frontline” But some with no ability employ the wonderful doctors and nurses…..and also are responsible for assessing competency!
“And it isn't all the managements fault - how many times have professional bodies like the GMC, (PHSO!)and the like turned a blind eye and hushed things up to avoid rocking the boat. If the management don't even know what their own policies are and can't apply the ones they do have fairly it's hardly surprising no-one ever gets blamed.
Then of course sometimes the blame properly belongs higher up - impossible targets, chief executives and ministers desperate to "tick a box" for the next press release, staff encouraged to "bend the rules" to make sure it looks good for the media even if it isn't.
It's not the money we spend on managers that's the problem - it's the managers we spend the money on.”
How true!!

The replies are pathetic after waiting all this time, important information they do not have to hand the same with the other FOI requests. in my opinion a lot is being covered up.
The management need to be dispersed and new educated ones brought in.Until bullying and harassment is stopped in the SLHT nothing will change and most management have no management skills. The chief executive is not supporting the workforce.
You have to have a good leader to have good followers, Chris Streather thus far is not a good leader.

It is not surprising that the trust is in trouble when a simple request made, still remains unanswered.
