Notes:-Lunch ride, first one since the 19th September. Wet few days but lovely and sunny today, lots of water on the roads. One of those days when you just need to escape. Had a message off Mike B yesterday to the central team announcing a one third cut to AHSN budgets, so quite a major impact on teams. I suspect this will effect the propsed new OLS post, so a freeze on recruitment. Hopefully it wont impact on my contract extension. Got a call with Mike to discuss tomorrow. Has certainly spooked the central team. Personally I am not suprised, I did think the timing of the contract discussions was convinient with all AHSN, or should I say Health Innovation Networks all agreed by december...cynically I am thinking this gives AHSNs time to shed staff within the 3 month notice period as we all operate on an april to march financial year. I think has been the NHSE plan for some time. Obviously the whole country is going to the dogs with rocketing inflation, the collapse of the Truss cabinet and all the legacy problems with Brexit... yes remember that...see ride 311 from 2016. Thsi was the first self inflicted wound, then came Covid and now that twat in Russia threatening nuclear war and forcing up energy prices. Deep joy... Also to note I started the clean for 14 fasting diet with Sarah, seems to be helping with the bloating and low energy, will hopefully lose some weight. Not doing bootcamps and havent for months. Shoulder problems seem to be getting worse.
