[tri-med] Re: Request for help, please

I understand that you have a social health care system in Austrailia also. In 
Canada, we have grand policies and procedures but no accountability. There is 
no ombudsman or protection for the vulnerable. The hospital accreditation 
people come by every two years to ensure that all of the policies and 
procedures are in place. The policies at our hospital are excellent. All 
policies that may have pertained to Annie's care related to medication 
administration, end of life care or policies for children with "incurable 
diseases" are well written and reflect health care laws and human rights. They 
are not implemented in any way, shape or form. 
 
Performance indicators based on cost savings are balanced by safety factors(and 
therefore litigation risk) These drive and direct the system and decision 
making. The problem is that the elderly, the young and the disabled are 
worthless in the civil system because it is based on income. When Annie died as 
she did I set out to understand why? It took a lot of research but I think I 
have figured it out now.
