In England, the 4 our target starts the second you register on arrival in ED & then we have 4 hours to treat and discharge or admit a patient before they breach the (4 hour) target.
The 12 hour target clock starts when a doctor decides to admit (DTA). A patient can be in the department an hour and the decision to admit is made and the 12 hour clock starts and they could have well breached the 4 hour target by many hours when the decision to admit is made and then the 12 hour clock starts.
Hospital I work in is crippled by it's PFI. The ED department was built to see 200 patients per day but it averages 500 per day. When I started my career in A&E in 1991, we had 5 nurses on duty per shift. Today, they have 23 nurses on per shift and it is still not enough.
The day after boxing day is historically the busiest day of the year for A&E's in the south of England. Our A&E had just over 700 people attend on Tuesday 27th December. Unfortunately, the NHS is in crisis and this government has no inclination to attempt to heal it.

You know it makes sense Div,
Coupled with the visitation of more than a few who bemoaned his presence and  posting style on the main boards, the notoriety of the Sin Bin 1 only gets enhanced with the creation of his very own Robben Island.
You know he's unlikely to change his stance on many matters concerning St Mirren but, the entire forum will not be so lively without the big fella chucking in his tuppence worth and offending folk who perpetually want to be offended. Free the Sin Bin 1.

Exactly.
If the "others" didn't seem so eager to reply/quote then he wouldn't be an issue. 
Much ado about nothing and it's been allowed to become far to personal over the last few years. 
PS I understand people see others differently, I see some posters as absolute dullards, who post lots of words which add nothing.
Everyone to their own. 
There are also members who contribute very little, lets say under 90 posts a year, and still complain, funny that eh?

The sin bin is becoming more popular than the rest of the forum.
Long live the sin bin.

f**kin ell, a week goes fast in wishaw.
Relax bud, another day down. Have another beer.
I'll sort yer liver out better than Bupa can.

how is it said down Greenhill Road way...........Keep the Faith.
Seriously, you have got to be patient. Time of year that it is & all that jazz.. Expecting an answer in 24 hours is not reasonable. I have every faith that someone from SMISA will respond to your queries.
I expect at least 1 person on the committee is responsible for monitoring the SMISA forum for any questions or queries posed and then a wee bit of discussion by text/email/WhatsApp/meeting down the pub or by telephone if required before answering. Obviously, if they know the answer immediately, there'll be no need for a conflab & the response will be a wee bit quicker.
I'd leave it a week. Have that beer Bud & relax. Rome is under construction

he will love Gabriels on a Friday.

Surely they'll just come back as The Bradford Bulls.
That's how it works.......isn't it?

give SMISA a chance.
I'd take it as a compliment that you've got others attention on that thread. Regardless of their motives for filling the thread with shite, let them crack on. The more non SMISA board members that post is more complimentary. Have a beer bud & relax.

You know as well as anyone, sometimes, we all have to play the game. As Peter stated a few days back, he aims to see communication improved, therefore, I expect you will get answered.

BOB,
I read quite a fair bit of most threads that catch my eye. I clearly don't get affected by what Stuart Dickson or anyone else says on these forums. I am inclined to read it and decide what is shite and should be ignored and what has any substance and should/could be considered and discussed/debated. Unfortunately, there is a mob mentality amongst a few on here that no matter what SD posts, it'll be dismissed out of hand as "wanky pish" even if there is anything worthwhile in it (no doubt, someone will be along to suggest he never posts anything worthwhile. Each to their own I suppose.)
I have my opinions about a lot but tend not to post as I have lived away from Scotland (Barrhead) for just gone 30 years.
I give enough of a f**k about St Mirren to have joined SMISA at the very start and I rejoined to Buy the Buds and although I will never live back in Scotland, bought into the idea and joined the 1877 club as a founder member. I believed the effort to get a supporters bar built was worth the £60 + £10 per month thereafter. One day, i'll get there for a pint.
Back to the matter in hand. I don't get affected by any of the shite that any poster posts, (whoever the walloper may be ) enough to froth at the mouth. When I feel strongly enough, I'll stick my tuppence worth in. In this instance, I don't think the USH was enough of an "emergency" to warrant spending £19K (£15 to fix & £4k to turn on).on it at this time.
FWIW, I think SMISA & GLS are doing a great job. They will make mistakes and as long as they learn from them, that'll do me. It is early doors but I am confident a lot of good is coming St Mirren' way.
Happy New Year Bud.

I suppose it would be so much easier to join the mob & slaughter Dickson (as you call him) no matter what he posts. Ach, not for me.

You're right. I wouldn't give a f**k.
Put a dress on a pig, it's still a pig.

Postponing a football match by any stretch of imagination is not an emergency. You can bump your gums & think differently.

St Mirren's USH that has been broke for sometime is not an unexpected or dangerous situation.

All that would happen is the game gets played on a different date. Big deal! but you seem to think it would be armageddon. Are you Stewart Gilmour in disguise? [emoji16]
