Your tax dollars at work.....
As most of you know I work at BC Children's Hospital. My job here is basically to do all the major PC purchasing and such for most of the major medical facilities in the province as well as government funded med. groups like BC Cancer, BC Transplant, RVH and FPS.
Anyways, the fiscal year end for the PHSA (the group I work for) is March 31. Basically that means that the previous years budget is up on that day and the new budget is assessed after that. Of course the way it works is that if you don't spend all your budget you lose it in the next year.
The spending that I'm doing is ridiculous right now. Orders for 12 laptops, 12 pdas, and 12 20.1" LCD's.... when we question the purchaser as to what they're for we're told things like 'just in case', 'future employees', 'we're not sure yet'!!
WE'RE NOT SURE YET!?!?!?! I'm sure of one thing... it's these people's fault that the medicare system is in the situation it's in. There is hardly any accountability for the spending made by some of these people.
Good job everyone... the taxes you've paid all year just bought some jerk doctor a new G5 and 23" cinema display for his personal use at home.... what a joke.
