What is going on here? This relentless "manager bashing" is getting out of control both in the editorial of this newspaper and the comments, viz: Anonymous 19th June 12.35 above. Do you honestly think it is appropriate to blame NHS managers for "closed wards, suspended GP surgeries, closed schools and reduced public transport" in the event of a worsening flu pandemic?!! Last time I checked, nhs managers and staff were human beings, not super heros. Having been involved in the set up and running of an anti-viral collection centre myself last week with 24 hours notice, as a redeployed clinical middle manager with a day job to also do, I can assure you it was efficient, extremely well run and very gratefully received by members of the public who attended to collect their medicines. It was also very well supported by our Senior Management Team. Back off and have a little more faith for goodness sake.
