Hi Goatman. Yep, I think the recent 'significantly ahead' is a fore-runner to a more meat on the bones T/S at their year end. Looks a bit too embarracing to give all the details now, just after the insider buying imo. So a statement at year end can make it sound like a lot of the surpise came in the last month imo.

Hello CR, I see that last year there was a trading update in June and results were early August. Thinking of taking a nibble.

It's gagging to have a go at that recent high again isn't it :-)

Reckon we might have a fun week next week and run up to the year end at May 31.

Morning Gents
I agree with Dave122 and think that the share price will consolidate until the broker upgrades are announced. Its very difficult to value the business when we dont have those forecasts. As most of you know i am a VERY long-term holder and am still happy to hold for a few more years yet !! Its little snippets like this that i like to read......

Health Select Committee report slams HR in the NHS over 'disastrous' workforce planning

HR professionals in the NHS have come under fire following a damning report by MPs on workforce planning in the health service.

The Health Select Committee report said NHS workforce planning had been "a disastrous failure", with too few people with the ability and skills to do the task. It urged "more time, effort and resources" to be devoted to the challenge.

"Strategic Health Authorities must recruit workforce planners of the highest calibre and ensure that they are supported by staff with appropriate skills," the committee said. "Most HR staff do not have these skills."

MPs held an inquiry into workforce planning following signs that the health service was spending too much on staff, with posts being frozen and redundancies becoming commonplace. Training budgets have been cut and newly qualified staff have been unable to find jobs as a result.

"The planning system remains poorly integrated, and there is an appalling lack of co-ordination between workforce and financial planning," the report said.

NHS Employers - the body responsible for employment issues - said it was "in complete agreement" with the committee on this issue. "We have long made the point that successful planning depends on the close alignment of financial, service and workforce needs," a spokesman said.

Responsibility for this planning is cross-organisational, not simply the role of the HR director.

"We recognise it is important to ensure the NHS has the skills and capacity in the service to enable HR directors to make a full contribution to the process."

The Healthcare People Management Association (HPMA) insisted joint working between HR and finance professionals was already under way. Deborah O'Dea, the association's president, said: "The HPMA is actively promoting the role of HR professionals in successfully leading this work, in conjunction with finance colleagues."

The HPMA is developing a new workstream for members, called People and Money, to help improve partnership working between finance and HR, O'Dea said.


The significant piece of the article that I like is that HPMA and Manpower Software are partners.....and of course...we have the best workforce planning in the world...imo

You took the words right outta my mouth.......

Lovely pennant formed. Will break out soon enough.

[illuminatus] 03/5/2007 12:39

I have just topped up with another 4.5k or so - There are now 5X more buys than sells so presume a humdinger of a delayed transaction somewhere.

[samenic] 03/5/2007 11:42

Totally agree with you CR don't think we know half the story yet....

[cockneyrebel] 03/5/2007 11:18

bid just a few pence over what Swann has just bought at.

Did he buy to scalp 5p? I doubt it :-)

Reckon there's the chance of another trading statement at year end putting more meat on the bones of the 'significantly ahead' statement and then broker upgrades imo.

I think this could tread water for some time now. The only upward swing would come from a few more Trusts signed up..unlikely for a while or revised Broker forecasts which Shore Capital seem tobe slow at getting out. A solid hold for the long term though.

[sven2006] 02/5/2007 17:54

steady as she goes today then

[wjccghcc] 02/5/2007 11:26

Did we get any revised forecasts?

[cockneyrebel] 02/5/2007 11:05

Looking very good today imo.

We've had the trading statement that they are 'significantly ahead an it's still a month to the year end - that's bullish imo.
