Thats interesting. If you find out anything more about why he is appearing before his peers, post it here. I spoke to a relative who works in management in the NHS and agrees with everything it does (shes an authority junkie ) When I finally had her cornered with these arguments she got really flustered and admitted the reason "Doctors assure you like due to lack of money, The system is crippled and its not politically OK to admit it, also if someone presents themselves with any sort of drug or alcohol use in the picture then they automatically get sent away"
Something must be wrong here, how can it be ok to tell sick people they are well, and leave them untreated ? I thought people wanted to be good at what they do..It would be strange if people with mental illness did'nt have drug and alcohol use, especially if they know had useless the service is. What I really want to know is where the policy is. It will be online somewhere, but trying to find it is proving troublesome.
