It may well make sense financially to move these surgeons to Southampton but from a practical patient safety and well-being standpoint it is total madness. After all the money that has been spent on the QA the bean-counters are intent on ripping its heart out.
I have been working for many years in an industry where there have been many changes including the centralisation of skills and services on a global scale.

This is quite clearly the wrong decision.
