The latest issue of the British Medical Journal reports on how Australian hospital staff have set up an anonymous blog to voice concerns about cutbacks. Called "Who Will Speak for Us" the blog is being used to draw public attention to their concerns about cutbacks to service. The link to the blog is http://whowillspeakforus.blogspot.com/
The website says, "It has to be anonymous because all staff of Sydney West Area Health Service are required not to speak to the media as part of their employment contract. Where is the accountability of the system if staff are gagged?" The bloggers from Katoomba Hospital, west of Sydney, have taken elaborate steps to protect their anonymity.
