Not surprised as NHS are not known for their logic in such situations. Its a
bit like the lift in our local guild hall, some of us go there regularly and
know the lift code to the inner sanctum rooms upstairs its not been changed
in years. I was standing in the Foyer last November talking to a friend when
along comes the security man with a visitor and after attempting to call the
lift for a while started asking about the thing. A chorus of us answered
him with the code. Nobody seemed to think this situation unusual in the
slightest. So if the security man does not know the code but all the
external people do, what would you think about the security of the building?

Yes me too, but I gave up long ago trying to contact anyone who could sort
it and the code is still the same.

I suspect its just how things are in statutory body world.

I was sent to empty NHS offices to install fused spurs for roller shutters
(the place can then be refurbed but it's in a bit of a **** hole and needs
protection).

I was given a key and a list of codes for all the internal door locks.

I went there and let myself in.

Five minutes later the joiners turned up. They had a key and a list of
codes.

Twenty minutes later the alarm people turned up. They had a key and a list
of codes.

Thirty minutes later the plumber turned up. He had a key and a list of
codes.

One hour later the NHS maintenance man turned up to let us in. He had not
got a key or a list of codes.


Still. I'll give him his dues. He waited with us all day so that he could
"lock up". He did this by borrowing my key as I was the last one to leave.
