Jonathan Ross’ agent has announced he won’t be seeking to renegotiate his contract with the BBC. Although Ross claimed his decision was ‘not financially motivated’ this is an important lesson for all senior managers who often accept without question what remuneration consultants tell them: if you pay an employee you value a ridiculous £18 million [...] Bernie Madoff was today sentenced to 150 years in prison for defrauding thousands of innocent victims. When his Ponzi scheme was rendered unsustainable by the financial crisis, the exposed Madoff admitted his guilt and stated he was too ashamed even to seek his victims’ forgiveness. Hard to see the idea of holding an inquiry in public ‘whenever possible’ as undesirable, isn’t it? An extremely well-informed source within a leading NHS trust has spilt the beans to cantankerous on how NHS trusts, and the NHS in general, have managed to hide the fact that the number of managers in the NHS has been growing out of control. Cobra Beer tastes bitter to unsecured creditors Nadine Dorries get hysterical about the public exposure of MPs expenses. Prime Ministers have understood the public mood all too well. Mass suicide is only likely if Brown calls a snap general election. Many MPs and journalists have been worrying about the damage that the Telegraph’s daily exposés are having on the reputation of Parliament. Iain Dale, writing about his friend Nadine Dorries’ treatment by the Daily Telegraph, questioned, as have many other commentators, for how much longer the media frenzy can continue: Connecting for Health (Cfh) seeks to delay Newcastle’s timely and successful implementation of an alternative electronic medical record system to the failing £12.6 billion National Programme for IT (NPfIT). Another NHS IT disaster? Should we reward the NHS Trust that failed Baby Peter with more of our cash? |
