Take a bow, Mr Colella.

"A paramedic shopped in Marks and Spencer while an elderly patient with severe blood poisoning waited in an ambulance, a conduct panel has heard.
Dominic Colella was called out on 9 March 2013 when the 85-year-old man collapsed in a queue at a London branch of the store.
A colleague told a disciplinary hearing Mr Colella had returned to the ambulance with two "full bags of shopping" after 20 minutes."


"On another occasion, Mr Colella is alleged to have got a hair cut instead of taking a head injury patient to hospital."

9 March 2013 was a long time ago. Has Colella spent the last two years suspended on full pay? The story says he has "since resigned" but that could have been last week. I realise that justice cannot be rushed but even the CCDA could have wrapped this up in six months, granted access to hospital records and cooperation from M&S.

6 months? Should be able to deal with any issue in weeks.

Another marvellous glimpse into our well-trained and progressive public sector.

It's grand to learn that our International Health Service is so capably staffed.
