Guest guest Posted April 25, 2004 Report Share Posted April 25, 2004 Marris, thank you and Lorraine for an excellent presentation. It takes a lot of courage to raise the health visiting situation, and the problems arising from closure of the register, to a mixed audience, but you did so extremely well. I am sorry I did not have time to stay and talk after your presentation, as I was rushing off to do my own paper. I was there for less than two days, but overall, I thought it was an excellent, thought provoking conference. best wishes Maris Challans wrote: RE: UKPHA Hi , as Chair of PHA Cymru I will be there from Tuesday.

Guest guest Posted May 3, 2010 Report Share Posted May 3, 2010 I agree, Margaret. I've argued for this sort of move, but it's hard work for busy people to bootstrap themselves into a professional organisation whilst so much else is going on. I do fear that we might've lost the best moment to have made this move, though. I'm worried about the next parliament because of the cuts which'll have to be made. Worse for all public services if it's a Tory adminstration, of course, but it's likely to be bad anyway. If my worries have any foundation, there will be moves to increase the service provision by social enterprise or private contractors, rather than by direct public sector employment because there will be no commitment to the same kind of terms and conditions as the NHS. We can predict what'll happen based on what's happened to our colleagues delivering ancillary services. Employment rights could be slashed to the statutory minimum. Such semi-privatised services will be commissioned on the basis of outputs, since nobody bothers to measure real outcomes for service users. This means they'll use any means to achieve good figures, irrespective of skill mix or employment terms. Without regulatory protection for the title and sphere of practice, anything goes. Hope I'm wrong... H Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
