Big Dave on BBC Breakfast today (Sunday!)

[Mr Rush]

Our local DO's are panicking about something, as every office is now having a sweep every day to ensure there's no 1c or NHS letters left in the frames and if there is posties are getting pulled up and told to ensure it's delivered in the future. If there's was nothing the Government could do I assume they wouldn't be panicking?

This is to do with quality measures

Not the NHS stuff sent DSA. That's purely public relations damage limitation.

Some DSA is now 1C. Locally only a few DOs get their priority NHS letters extracted by the machines.

So is our office. But we’ve been told to take them for a drive. Don’t care if they’re delivered or not, just want them out of the office.

That's because they are frightened of senior management turning up to do the random checks as happened at one of our local DO's. I doubt they'd be impressed if they were told postie's weren't delivering them.

Could have been recorded 4 years ago and we wouldn’t have noticed a difference. Same issues, same talking points, same dodgy Dave blabbering into a laptop. None of its going to change. It’s actually really boring at this point.

I've been retired seven years now and big Dandy Dave was spouting the same pish
then and no-one believed him then you couldn't give him a red neck with
a blowtorch...........money for nothing Eh Dave ?

Random ones might be test letters with the RFID tags in them so "taking them for a drive" could just as easily get the DO into trouble as well.

Don't get segregated NHS letters, just turn up in the sequenced. No instruction received to extract and deliver ahead of any other mail.

Following a visit locally by a Senior Manager we've now been told ALL NHS letters must be delivered through day they are received. What's baffling is the NHS send appointment letters by 2nd class, even via DSA, but expect 1c service. What's next Radio Times etc will demand similar service?

I wonder if RM will now be programming the machines over the next few days to extract ALL NHS letters.

Who do they think is going to deliver everything? Magic elves? Cause that's what completing the impossible task requires. If local management had any balls they'd tell senior management to take a hike.

Pointless as they'd just get moved on straight away

We were told all NHS letters and all stuff for the blind to be treated as first class.

Been here before, the 2nd class is to be treated as 1st, meanwhile the actual 1st class as 2nd, 3rd & maybe 10th class.
Our senior Managers seem to be lacking in both common sense & brains!!

Said it before but our local hospital authority and doctors surgeries letters are not marked in anyway 'NHS' or with the hospital/surgery name. They're DSA but we can't tell what delivery spec (well they should all be delivered the day they arrive in the DO regardless of D+ whatever). We know they're hospital/doctors letters because colleagues receive them too!
