SSWAHS and Jan Whalan: Micro-management in action!

Socrates has acquired this little gem which demonstrates just how SSWAHS Executive like to keep a stranglehold (sorry, "finger") on the pulse of their whole organisation. This is an "out-of-office" response to an email sent in mid-2009 to Ms Jan Whalan, the Director of Corporate Services for SSWAHS and the Deputy CEO. It would not be unreasonable to suggest that with the change to the Local Area Health Networks, and the change to the current SSWAHS, Ms Whalan could very well be the new Chief Executive of the Liverpool to Bowral health service. May the Gods help us all!
