It's just that working for Health the term 'Highly Motivated Individual' usually means if it needs doing you need to do it no matter how much else you're already doing, and if something was done wrong by anyone you are going to be the 'individual' who cops the blame. Think I need to find another job - one where I don't know what's happening next!Ali
