Oh the shame…

I was told recently that here in Wolvo we have one of the highest WCA failure rates and I wondered whether that was reflected in the proportion of HCP’s; doctors to nurses and physios.

I made a FOI request and this was the response.

I note that there is a 20% disparity which may reflect Wolverhampton’s experience, but even nationally the picture ain’t good.

Doomed… we’re all doomed!
