| Comment | I'm not referring to social work etc. directly here. There is an abundance admin staff that could be stripped back, a number of processes automated etc.
Even still, when it comes to the actual services, from experience I've found the issue is some people are doing the job of three people while others are doing the job of none. At least that's true in the NHS and teaching. The problem is if you are assigned a role where there is no work, there is no incentive to flag that to management. Similarly, if you are assigned a role with the work of 2-3 people and a shortage of staff, there is nothing you can do to get more pay or more staff around you to help.
That's a whole different issue now though and goes far beyond Glasgow, and even UK politics, to solve. |
