A Death Service Measuring Tool (Correlational only) 


By Silvis Rivers :



The NHS Trusts are vulnerable to serious criticism (which goes all the way back to the Gov't) based on a comparitive measuring tool  anyone can apply .

Hear this argument out before I get down to that .

A Patient death in Camden (Colville Mark aged 50) - London reveals a continuing lack of care I would argue . The Coroner reported a death that could not be ascertained properly . So there's the admin-class clever end of it as far as they are concerned . Colville was schitzophrenic and was deemed to be capable of looking after himself and his medication needs 

The Camden new Journal  reported Colville Mark  was one of 50 who were "unallocated" (a social worker) .

"Mr Mark was one of the patients considered well enough to be discharged and referred back to us if any problems occurred in the future." She added: "We had 50 patients unallocated after loosing two members of staff from the community team."

Services though everywhere have come under the "lean policy" push to make savings and surpluses.

You have to bear in mind that we have the much vaunted so called "Patient & Carer Preference" (of treatmemt) still being bandied about . The truth however is attrition of service at the expense of creating more "Voice"  (bureacracy) . This costs money too and that will be another factor diverting costs away from frontline care too . 

Colville Mark's life was inside attrition policy both locally and nationally . And "Patient & Carer Preference" to shape treatment  is limited by Govt lean policy which creates over-centralising over-managing power even inside Trusts with a mixture of demands to make surplusus and new "credible" elements of Trust dominated User-bureacracies ..

So when Colville died was his Trust in surplus ?  Yes . Was his life worth more than a new User-bureaucrat ?

The Audit Commissions Report 2006 - 7 (with 2007-8 forecasts) 

QUOTE : Page 7 .

"In year financial performance

The Trust achieved its financial breakeven target and reported a surplus of
£1.68 million for the financial year. This was in excess of the surplus of £1.18 million
budgeted for, which had been agreed with NHS London. The Trust also met all other
key financial targets and delivered approximately £6 million of efficiency savings.

 For 2007/08, the Trust has set a budget of delivering a £1.75 million surplus and after
four months of the financial year is currently showing a surplus of £578,000, in line with
the expected position. Achieving the surplus is dependent on the Trust delivering its
£4.8 million of cost improvement programme, some of which is planned to be secured
later in the year. The Board will need to ensure that the savings is monitored closely,
with action taken if any slippage occurs."


So it goes that   anyone can correlate "surpluses made" with "patient care denied"  or "patient care delabelled out of "allocated care "  "

The admin class will shout  "NO PROOF"  - but the noughts and crosses are building up in the community and the patient's are not winning the game  they are dying .  I will try to report this more because witnessing this and saying something is the last power inside so much powerlessness .

So Uks tribe,  alongside you might wish at any time to to Ukking well measure any patient deaths through lack of care  against surpluses made at their services - its a tool of embarrasment to the admin classes who oh so skillfully brush the patient's cremated dusts under the national health service carpet

Locate the Trust of the patient-dead and put into Google the Trust name and year of accounts and  "surpluses"..  

(I love the last bit its so fucking cheeky)
