...something that isn't broken .
The news has been full of last week's incident where a car left the M9 , killing the driver , a week past on Sunday , and was reported to the police that morning . For some reason , the call wasn't acted on and the seriously injured passenger lay in the car for three days before another call alerted the police once again . The seriously injured passenger , now suffering from dehydration , was taken to hospital and put into a medically induced coma , but died on Sunday morning . The couple were also the subjects of a missing persons report after becoming overdue the night before the crash .
My take on this is that the root cause is budget cuts causing staff to be reduced to the point where service delivery suffers ; I pity the call handler who took the initial call and is probably now being hauled over the coals .
