I am a little bemused here, presumably most locals know about the feelings that abound between Blackburn and Burnley people (which I suspect originated from football), why then, would somebody think it a good idea to move nhs staff from Burnley hospital to Blackburn hospital? Seems to bear out the feeling that the lunatics are running the asylum! If the staff are not batting for the same side, how could that possibly benefit the patients? Would have thought medical staff would bury the hatchet for the sake of the common cause (and not in each others backs either), which supposedly is giving the best possible treatment against all the odds and bariers provided by the pen pushers that run the nhs.
