New job's alright, ta.
Looking quite promising that it could become longer term and potentially permanent. Alas, I'm afraid I don't think there are any of those types of jobs going. I'm assuming things are looking less than rosy at the moment?

I'm safe until November at the earliest but it looks like NHS direct will be no more after that.
It's being replaced with cheaper/worse service called 111 which isn't provided nationally but will be commisioned and staffed locally.
I have a feeling it'll work great, and save loads of taxpayers money.

There is no way this is a bad idea designed to solely benefit private companies.

Next you'll be suggesting that these private companies are run by old friends of Gid and Dave.

Competition is brilliant!
I especially like the way that the sort of job I do, will have to be recreated in every region. So that instead of 3 people forecasting 10 million calls a year you'll get 15 different groups of people forecasting 650,000 calls each. But the teams will be maybe 2 people so that's a definate saving.

it's not about saving money
it's about spending enough to keep the system moving

Brilliant plan by Andrew Langsley
I'd write to my MP if he wasn't a Tory cunt who's desperate to get into the cabinate.
