Pithy and acerbic comment on a blog operated by a Glasgow GP (here) concerning disagreement regarding contract terms for clinical waste disposal, and in particular the duration of that contract.
Unfortunately, the writer chooses to remain anonymous and that alone is unfair on Greenleaf since there are some bold accusations made there and no doubt a very heavily weighted presentation of "facts" that reflect only one side of what is no doubt a complex issue. Greenleaf would no doubt paint an entirely different picture and the blog headline which is hard hitting and provocative, seems to be too strong, particularly since the writer chooses to remain anonymous*.
The blog provides the facility to post a reply, just like the Clinical Waste Discussion Forum, but thus far there are no entries.
What is clear is that contract terms are often the subject of disagreement and misunderstanding. Read the small print - always - and invest in a diary to make an ample note of dates for cancellation or renewal, which may be automatic.
