Turning obstacles into opportunities & windmills into worthy opponents. La Maison Derrière: where tenacity, belligerency, and a touch of pedantry fuel progress

At La Maison Derrière, we believe progress is not a straight line but a noble dance with windmills, obstacles, and the occasional unnecessary committee meeting. Founded on the principles of persistence, wit, and the sheer refusal to accept the unacceptable, we specialise in transforming chaos into resilience and bureaucracy into opportunity. Our team blends humour with determination, elevating eve

LMD FB response to The Sun asking about The Trust

Hi - it is not exactly what you are asking for, but I can give you a larger picture that gives context.

I have evidence in the form of internal emails from the CEO, involving other executives and the local CCG board.

These show Mr Wade amd team breaching their own policies and the NHS Constitution in order to cover poor staffing, poor practice, poor planning, and a lack of understanding of expected basic NHS processes.

Those failures have led to actual harm and even the arrests of innocent service users - that even when Mr Wade is aware and internally admits the error, has not acted to correct.

This has meant vast NHS resources have been spent on defending his personal views and distain for governance , only to concede once the JR process has been started.

I also have further evidence which may help explain the wider failure in compliance, care, governance and leadership.

The current water issue and the response to it should not be viewed as an isolated incident, or as something caused wholly by external factors. It appears to form part of a broader pattern: weak governance, lack of accountability, poor due diligence, and a “make it up as you go” approach to decision-making.

That wider context may also explain why Mr Wade has now departed, apparently to spend “time with his family”.

Mr Wade has basically stated in an email that his personal views are more important than those of the public and what he describes as our ‘perceived right of entitlement to the NHS’

He even claims to powers which are nothing short of ultra vires, bordering on delusional

It’s top down problem by a mediocre mid level manager promoted beyond his skills and should likely never have been given charge of a stationary cupboard let alone a Trust (or two)

As Sir Humphrey would say ‘it’s classic case of someone reaching high office, not through an ability to lead, but a capacity to attend meetings…

Team LMD pull two wins in one day, a light scuffle from last year pays out and a surgical mike drop knocks smugness off the table

Behind every great struggle is a team driven by passion and determination.

At LMD, we were founded on the principles of persistence, wit, and the belief that challenges are opportunities in disguise.

Our journey is about transforming chaos into resilience and laughing at the absurd along the way.

Join us in celebrating the milestones and the humorous yet unwavering spirit that defines our path to progress. Together, we turn challenges into triumphs.

Recently, progress was made and, with equal efficiency, delayed. Quiet wins, noisy lessons, and a great deal of paperwork. The position stands—altered only where it matters.

No defeat occurred; LMDs approach is simply under refinement.

The mathematics are reassuring: a windmill must, inevitably, have its day—just as a stopped clock contrives to be right twice a day.

Optimists may celebrate “Team Windmill’s” two correct moments out of 1,440; we prefer, more realistically, to note the 86,400 alternative outcomes, neither disappointed nor entertained by the failures of others.
