Just because someone is determined to do something doesn`t mean it should be made easy for them, nothings going to be 100% but every obstacle should be put in their way. If hospital security are used to seeing staff walking around without ID how are they supposed to detect imposters, just rely on memory as to whether they`ve seen them before?
As I said previously, I was never once asked by any other department in the hospital (and this was over a period of at least a decade) to prove who I was.
I visited other departments, attended management and commissioning meetings, I visited other hospitals in the North West. Nowhere was I asked to prove who I was.
So if you implement something that is supposed to be for security and then no-one is there to implement any security measures, what is the point?

I was part of the furniture and fittings of the place. I was seen going about the business of caring for patients at that hospital for 26 years...the previous three years I had spent at BRI.
