As we all know, the NHS is in really dire financial straits. Many hospitals have local people raising funds to help out.
Shropshire community provider told to review safe staffing levels
It becomes the second community trust this week to be warned about staffing levels by the regulator, along with Hounslow and Richmond Community Healthcare NHS Trust in London.

Staffing costs money, right?
The chief executive of Shropshire Community Health NHS Trust has turned down thousands of pounds of charitable donations.
Jan Ditheridge, chief executive of the trust, claimed the comical “bed push” event could make people feel “uncomfortable or embarrassed” and rejected the £2,500 donation. The event has happened annually in the town of Ludlow, south Shropshire, for 20 years and was set up with the help of, and has frequently involved, members of staff from the hospital.
Ditheridge told the Shropshire Star: “It isn’t okay to portray health care professionals in this way. We have previously asked that this doesn’t happen and therefore don’t think it’s right to accept any money associated with this activity.
“I’m sure the event was organised with the best intentions and we are sorry if it’s made people feel uncomfortable or embarrassed.
“Many people kindly and selflessly raise money for our organisation, and especially for our hospitals. We are eternally grateful for that,” she said.
Long-time chairman Mr. Corfield hit back at the rejection of their donation: “We have not had one single complaint about this event from members of the public.
“The bed push has over the years raised a substantial amount of money and the lads who do it are great supporters of the hospital.
“I need to talk to the lads who do this because it is effectively casting aspersions on their character.
“What Ms Ditheridge doesn’t seem to be aware of is that the bed push was originally set up with the full co-operation of the hospital staff and has been happening in the town for about 18 to 20 years.
“Hospital staff have been involved with doing their make-up and, in the days when we actually pushed a bed around town, a member of staff was sometimes the person in the bed.
“I think it’s an over-reaction to say that they will not accept the money.”

Perhaps Jan Ditheridge will cough up the money out of her own very substantial salary....
“Nursing staff have been repeatedly told that there isn’t enough money to improve their pay, even after years of pay restraint. To learn that many senior NHS staff are enjoying pay rises and bonuses while nurses struggle to make ends meet is immensely demoralising.”

Ditheridge is just another champagne socialist.
