the reason why southern cross are in trouble is there staff to resident ratio ?
here is an image from there brochure :

they have 44,916 staff serving 32,892 people ? a greater than one to one ratio sounds highly innefficient ! is this really correct ?

I’m also sure there rents are too high probably (speculative property market included).

But also they are no doubt milking money from the government for local authority fees as well as stripping private residents of money : in fact when you get old it looks like its going to cost you £553.00 a week to live ! as an able bodied person its costing me around £200.00 a week to live in a bedsit type environment. the simplest solution to the cost of old age is not to live too long.

this is evidence if any were needed that private taxation is supporting an ineffecient public sector based welfare system run by private companies for shareholder profit.

any company that has to provide shareholder dividends is going to find it harder to survive in tougher times than a not for profit.
