Bungling, Deliberate Dithering & Mismanagement Not Unique to SABP



Mandy , a regular contributor to our comments section and accomplished and witty MH blog Tzarina recently got the following letter published in her local newspaper. The letter , which is self explanatory , indicates that the bungling , dithering and mismanagement we've seen over the Surrey & Borders Garden Centre is not unique .

Well done for getting this published Mand and for reminding us that the local press is another way of getting the message out there. Stay well.

Mental health concerns

Madam – I was disgusted when reading the article informing readers that Tennyson Road will be closed down due to bickering between PCTs and Luton Borough Council over who is paying what. It smacks of utter incompetence and territorial behaviour by each of the three funding agencies who appear unable to speak to each other in ways that are beneficial to those on the receiving end of their decisions.

PCTs are always complaining that the government ties their hands and doesn’t allow them to make local decisions.

Well, no wonder because it has taken three years of non decision making to get to this point.

Those in power, who have abused it, should be thoroughly ashamed of themselves and be made more accountable for their decisions.

Well done Mandy. The delays and dithering and the lack of open information are so frustration. I am still waiting for a reply to Freedom of Information questions from the PCT that I sent in in October. I also want to see the MCCH report that was due out in December to see what their plans are for the garden centre. But when I ring I just get an answer phone and noone rings back. Of course I will keep ringing but why should I have to? I can see your frustration with the delays in your area and why should we have to put up with it when these managers are paid so much to do their jobs? But they don't and then the people they are supposed to be providing a service for are the ones who have to suffer while they just carry on collecting their cushy salaries and remaining unaccountable.
Anyway well done for getting published.

Jill,

It is like trying to get blood out of a stone isn't it?

And the stalling is done to undermine you and show how powerful these people are. And if you take all the ego stuff away it is actually down right rude and ignorant.

I admire you for even trying. It is soul destroying. I have taken time out from any involvement because it leads me to despair.

They don't care that people have mental health problems it is all about image protection.

And if you get ill, believe me Jill, these people will not be showing any concern. They will be relieved because they won't have to face the challenges that come through to them..and will carry on regardless.

I am not saying this to put you off. Anything you try and manage to do is something better than nothing. I just want you to look after you.

With much respect

Mandy x
