I’m on leave this week. Time to try and regain some home life and ‘order’. Sigh. Today I was home alone. A rare happening. I set too, in between sitting around doing crap all, sorting through stuff. Sifting. Our ‘filing basket/pile’ had bills/statements dating backing to January 2013. The land that time forget.

LB’s chest in our bedroom distracted me. It does when I’m alone. I avoided it. I remember the last time I opened it. And cry-howled in a horrible, empty way. I can’t fucking look in it. At the stuff of love, life, simplicity, richness and depth. Trashed repeatedly by the (non) response of Sloven, Oxfordshire County Council and the wider gang of NHS England, CQC, Monitor (or NHS Improvement ‘my arse’) and Jeremy Hunt.

I finished reading the latest Sloven board papers.

This is always an exercise in incredulity, rage and despair. And time. Typically over 200 pages with gratuitous gibberish/nonsense.

Tucked away on p96 (41.4), in the CEO report, was this gem:

Alleged ‘Trust failings’. Despite everything. The CEO continues to deny evidenced and clearly identified failings. Her arrogance is extraordinary and with it will come no ‘learning’ or improvement. Despite the Comms team developing positive news.

The day was punctuated with various and unexpected Sloven activity and developments. The Sloven problem ain’t going away despite their ‘hunker down, deny and ignore’ approach to the carnage they cause. When you’re as shite as they are, there will always be shite ahead. And there is. Something Jezza, Monitor, NHS England and the CQC don’t seem to grasp.

Alleged ‘Trust failings’? I hope the new Improvement Director has a foray through their board papers. To get an insight into an organisation led by a combination of spin, jargon, arrogance, delusion and stupidity. It really ain’t rocket science what the problem is here.
