You appear to have covered most options Weird Granny Slater, but you didn’t include a most important necessity of these colourful positions to make it work.
How the heck are all these gender enhancing individuals expected to operate without an army of gender specific interpreters to communicate between them and the progressive NHS hierarchy?
Also, how soon will the end result be a healthier population or is this superfluous to requirements?
Do nothing and nothing happens.

Well...
a) the multi-coloured single-female political enforcers will see to that
b) crickets

Dead on the stroke of 08.30 today I rang the surgery for an appointment. After listening to the reasons that I may want to call elsewhere (A+E etc), I received the exciting recorded news that, ‘you are number 1 in the queue!’
Perhaps my lucky day to buy a lottery ticket I thought!!
………Except:
This message was repeated at set intervals whilst blood pressure elevating music(?) was sent down the line until I heard the dulcet tones of the receptionist………….22 minutes later!
I felt a little guilty as I had probably disturbed her coffee oiling and set the default interval at number in the queue plus 22 minutes for the rest of the days urgent calls.
I suppose the lesson is in the word:
‘The word queue does't have 4 silent letters.…..They are just waiting their turn.’

How annoying Bob. It really is time these badly run surgeries were sorted out, they can no longer blame covid for their inefficiency.
I no longer even try ringing my surgery I get a family member to call in when passing or email them, luckily I have had no need for immediate medical contact .....except for our excellent life saving ambulance service back in the beginning of the year.

I agree, I also tend to call in at the surgery if I can nowadays too Jan, but it wasn’t possible yesterday.
My last line attempt at humour should have read:
‘The word queue doesn’t have 4 silent letters.…..They are just waiting their turn.’

If ever we needed more evidence of how appalling the NHS can be at acting on the legitimate concerns of staff who are morally, professionally and legally obliged to blow the whistle, this is it. The mother of all cover ups, until it was too big to deny.

An interview on ITN News this evening with a doctor who also raised his concerns was frightening when you think about the Management reactions.

'Management' Kick it down the road and hope it doesn't come back to bite us!
With so many layers of it in the NHS it is happening all too often.

So very sad when a child that young child dies.
I am not defending QEQM but that is poor biased reporting when the pathologist gives the following reason.
"A pathologist later ruled she had suffered acute myocardial necrosis - the death of heart cells - but was unable to establish the cause."
