Another £1 per taxpayer spent. Peanuts when you think of how much it will cost to care for and educate the poor girl and give her some joy in life. I've never met a disabled person who wouldn't give every penny they ever had and more to be able and fit. I'm sure she would rather have good health and normal ability more than the money. |

But we are charged to see our doctor if we use them or not. They talk as though we don't pay for the NHS through our NI contributions & taxes........Time to revert back to the Doctor getting paid by how many they SEE not how many on their books. Why are Brits STILL struggling to get a face-to-face GP appointment? Fury at ministers for failing to solve crisis amid complaints over 'Catch-22' system... so use our interactive tool to see how bad the situation is at your practice

Think on what your grandparents ate and how much exercise they took. Follow that and avoid all this e numbered rubbish and you will feel much better fairly quickly and find that you actually don't need people to tell you to eat poorly. From pot noodles to biscuits and chocolate desserts: The ultra-processed foods being promoted by NHS 'healthy eating' app after bombshell study linked them to cancer NHS Food Scanner describes biscuits, cakes and crisps as a 'good choice' Campaigners described revelation as 'astonishing' and demanded review The free app regularly recommends instant noodles and an energy drink www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-11697919/From-pot-noodles-biscuits-junk-food-promoted-NHS-healthy-eating-app.html |

I almost chocked on my coffee this morning when I read that GPs are going to join the strikes, they really are piss takers, like the teachers they sat at home during the pandemic lockdown for over 12 months on 'FULL' pay, GPs cowering like cowards in the corner of their 6 bedroom detached rural properties (one lives near me), and now they have the absolute audacity to want to strike. |

I didn't say he did. I posted he used SOME of the money for that purpose, you also got the rest wrong. None of the money went into balancing the books. Some went into buying three different currencies, I recall Dollars, Yen and one other. All of these went into the reserves where the currencies earned interest, and the gold did not. That was at a time when currency was king. Norway produce a similar amount of oil as UK but because they kept their oil for the benefit if the people their billions of profits are 4 times greater than what we get from the North sea oil. I'd meet both demands if I could get the treatment I have earned by paying in thousands in NH contributions and tax; I'm still paying tax on pensions. Snap still paying taxes on my pensions |

Mr. Jonksy, on the several occasions when I was in hospital and they told me I'd be going home, I'd ask whether it would be before 6pm when they had completed the discharge forms....they didn't laugh. That's the problem with hospital, there's too much admin that no one is tackling. |

That's the problem with hospital, there's too much admin that no one is tackling. The last time I was discharged from hospital they rang the wife about 2.00 p.m. and told her they were discharging me. The forms were finally signed about 6.00 p.m. I think I'd still be there but I finally sat on a chair in the middle of the corridor and asked everyone who passed by if they could remove the two canulars in my arm. Someone finally did. |

That's the problem with hospital, there's too much admin that no one is tackling. Maybe one reason they are reluctant to release patients to house new ones, too much paper work.
It's my belief that lots of things are made (or purposely made) over complicated, it's like the old saying goes 'how many people does it take to change a light bulb'?
They system could be streamlined to cut cost and manpower, but that might get rid of too much deadwood in the NHS, and we can't have that.

Someone finally did. The last time I had a problem was when I was told I would be discharged but then told I wouldn't be due to my blood potassium levels being diddly squat above the requirement. I told them I knew what I must and mustn't do and would discharge myself at 5pm. The forms were produced. Prior to that I went in for one day but having carried that out they decided to do something else. When I asked about discharge nothing happened so I told the rather delicious oriental nurse that I was leaving. She started screeching and eventually got a junior doctor to see me who tried to convince me to give it another day. I was 76 at the time and challenged him to a head stand competition; he went of and came back with the discharge papers signed by a surgeon who hadn't seen me since morning and reporting, "He has recovered well".  |

They could easily give you a small release form and follow that up with the medical form a day or two later. Places like hospitals are all about what is known as the numbers game, the more people you have working under you the more you get payed. |

Snap still paying taxes on my pensions Don't forget the trend for people to take early retirement which helped to break the back of the final salary system. And the Pension Holidays by employers that saw the workers still paying into their pensions while the bosses paid the money that should have gone into the Pension Funds, out to their investors. Both before Brown followed the Tory lead and imposed tax on the unearned income from the pension funds. |
