    Nice work if you can get it

    Cash-strapped hospital bosses employ American IT expert on a salary of £25,000 A MONTH...and even picked up his bar tab and his laundry bill
    Former White House adviser Larry Blevins was employed to improve Rotherham NHS Hospital Trust's failing £40 million IT system
    Hospital allocated £4,000 for flights to bring Mr Blevins over from U.S.
    Expenses over 6 weeks totalled £2,300 for hotel, laundry, taxis and meals
    The debt-ridden hospital is axing 750 jobs in an attempt to cut costs
    Staff are furious the taxpayer is picking up the bill for flights and expenses
    Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.

      What the fec are Rotherham NHS doing spunking 40m on an IT system.
      Rule Number 1 - Assuming that you have a valid contract in place always try to get your poo onto your timesheet, provided that the timesheet is valid for your current contract and covers the period of time that you are billing for.

      I preferred version 1!

                I suspect that isn't the correct figure.
