'The proportion of kitchen cupboard space filled with unused drugs should be less than 50% of the total kitchen storage space (including bread bin)' (4 points).
<p>
Is the 50% figure evidence based? Will there be a sliding scale for 60% and 70% also? Hazel Drury

Are we to be allowed exception reporting to cover those patients who wake up in hospital mortuaries and to allow for any resurrections? (These can be very tricky to follow up quickly enough when Easter falls in March). Pete Budden

i was sooooo depressed reading all the current news in the rags that i realised now that its nearly 10pm and im still replying to work related emails i needed some well earned copperfield time before my head bled too much whilst bashing on my desk at all the insanity that fills every waking day of the "new" NHS. Thankfully i have laughed ,chuckled and nearly lost continence twice thanks to reading through your thoughts, Copperfield you are without doubt my sanity saviour :-) Perhaps we should all go into respite for a few weeks with nothing but Copperfield blogs for treatment.
Thank you for lifting the doom and gloom that surrounds us each day ! :-) xx nikki long
