No but a bit of accountability would be nice.

But there is zero sanction on the individuals responsible.
Yes, so in reality the public pays the insurance for the consultant so they are not really sanctioned and the State pays when the hospital is sued so no real sanction there either.
This shouldn't be about people or institutions being sued. This should be about getting rid of the ridiculous mind set within the healthcare industry where employees have a vastly inflated sense of their own importance and value to society. That leads to a culture where criticism is not acceptable and the cause of all shortcomings are externalised; lack of resources, overworked, etc etc.
No organisation or individual gets better at what they do by ignoring what they are bad at and/or refusing to take responsibility for it.
Based on news reports, most of these health industry settlements are accompanied by a statement that there is no admission of wrongdoing on the part of the defendant(s). This means that they can carry on just as before with no modification to processes or procedures and no additional training needs identified.

Speaking of accountability, how about the population at large?
I was visiting a major hospital during the week. At the entrance there were several hand sanitizers with instructions and notices for people to wear masks. Of the about 20 people I noted entering, NONE took any notice of the signs
You'd swear it never happened.

You'd swear it never happened.You can be quite sure that the employees also ignore the notices. Of course the signs might be there since Covid because nobody bothered to take them down.Speaking of accountability, how about the population at large?

Just because the victim can't pursue them for further compensation doesn't preclude internal disciplinary procedures. I know where my wife works people have been managed out or removed from roles, in the more serious cases registration can be removed. Unfortunately because the HSE isn't really a homogeneous unit but a disjointed collection of separate dysfunctional entities, some of those who retain registration go on to senior roles in other hospitals.
Yep, and every attempt at driving core efficiency through the standardisation of rostering, contracts, term, payroll, purchasing, etc., etc. is likely to fail until that is addressed.

I've got an idea from another thread.
Lets shoot every 10th person who doesnt sanitise. That should encourage compliance

However if everyone simply got into the habit of hand sanitizing in and out of all medical establishments the greater good would be hugely served.
For sure. And not just there. A TA of mine is the hand sanitizer units about the place as a legacy of covid that are not refilled. Either remove them or mark them out of order or sth.
