some interesting choices there. Whilst not an apologist for any of the SAAS hierachy or work practices, it would appear to be an interesting list. Not sure how the loss of the rostering people will go, they always seemed to be the busiest people on the planet, covering all those overtime requests.

Boredy, any idea or word on how they are going to manage the Education Unit. Without commenting on the quality of the current lot, it would have appeared that is a pretty vital type function.

Thanks Mr Foley  :roll:

I'm assuming that's a joke? At least the first two?

What's the reasoning? That's ridiculous. Man this government gives me the shits.

No it's not a joke.  More like appropriate rationalization of positions.  

The role of ASMO and medical director is pretty much redundant in this day and age with the clinical governance model that's now in place.  A good thing too.

Besides.....Bill still employed by SAAS - but wears red instead of green, and only gets one pay-cheque instead of two.

what I am supriosed about is that so much of the middle management non-operational structure appears to have survived relatively unscathed. Thers probably 40 positions that it could be argued should be done by Shared Services (even though we know they cant - separate argument). I am really surprised that HR didnt get booted, that was the first cab off the rank in other departments

There's still more to be announced.  This is just the start. 

A few packages will be taken in middle management and some portfolios redistributed yet......
