Re boob jobs:
No one should get a boob job on the NHS "to further a career". From the NHS website: Is cosmetic surgery available on the NHS? Cosmetic surgery is not routinely provided on the NHS. Occasionally, it may be provided on the NHS for psychological or other health reasons. For example, the NHS might pay for: breast implants if a woman's breasts are severely underdeveloped or asymmetrical, and it's clear this is causing her significant psychological distress nose reshaping if the person has breathing problems a tummy tuck if the person has excess fat or skin after weight loss or pregnancy a breast reduction operation if the weight of a woman's breasts is causing her back problems Generally, most people who wish to have cosmetic surgery will need to pay for this privately. Reconstructive or plastic surgery can also be available on the NHS. This is different from cosmetic surgery; it's surgery to restore a person's normal appearance after illness, accident or a birth defect. It includes procedures such as rebuilding breasts after a mastectomy, or repairing a cleft lip. |

IAWN Have brought this up with the union will see if anything happens
my GP had always done my ears(normally around every 5 years)and are well aware of my line of work. But my main point is, it is to big and getting bigger and needs to go for want of a better term back to basics. |

To answer an earlier question...
Properly and accurately, not an lfc answer. https://fullfact.org/europe/eu-immigration-and-pressure-nhs/ fullfact is a VERY good and honest, charity driven, non-aligned site. |

Sorry for your plight, Dragon and I wish you and your mum well.
I agree with you, the whole lot has been run down and dismantled or sold off to big business. What they do, with assistance is to deflect blame from themselves. |

By:
Yes mate, and some earlier than they should.
As per my own experience with my mum. Still as long as all the unnecessary managers, trusts, building firms, computer & IT experts, WH Smith, costa, car park companies, loads of outsourced organisations and mostly - the drug companies are all making a lovely living from it. Nothing will be done. They put money in - but not to where it's needed! |

The only time a politician walks through the door of an NHS hospital it follows weeks of planning during which time the hospital administrators have prepared meticulously in preparation for said visit . Maybe they should give it a couple of hours after their 'tour' and then return unannounced using some excuse such as "has anybody handed in a set of keys to my 'taxpayer-funded luxury Victoria Embankment penthouse 2nd home?' I think I might have dropped them" and take a quick gander around the waiting room and use their eyes and ears during this 2nd visit to reach any conclusion as to whether the NHS really is fit for purpose .

too many people, if you,re not prepared to address that stop moaning

By:
its like this, you can have an NHS of the type Britain has, or you can have mass unrestricted immigration
you cant have both, its impossible |
|
By:
That is indeed the problem and it can only get worse
|

By:
ps I wasn't referring anything said to The Dragon or anyone else on this thread
cant blame anyone for becoming annoyed |
|
By:
you see studyform says the NHS is being sold off to big business , but we need building firms to build hospitals, we need , at least in theory IT systems, we need car parks, whoever runs them is neither here nor there
so he will have to look elsewhere for the underlying problems |
|
By:
by the way don't bother reading that full fact site on immigration and the NHS that studyform suggests
it is telling lies within the first few paragraphs |
|
By:
No it isn't, but you can't be swayed from what you are certain of, lfc.
Given your superior intellect, this is not a good trait. In fact I'm starting to have doubts about it, maybe you are actually clueless after all, I don't know. You will not find a less biased or fairer source of information, anywhere. There are no lies, only stuff you don't want to know. https://fullfact.org/europe/eu-immigration-and-pressure-nhs/ |

By:
first of all, even by their own figures EU immigrants do not cover their costs
and secondly they haven't understood how to make the calculation, which means that the costs are even greater so there is no point reading that is there? |
|
By:
look at it this way study, they are basing their figures on immigrants, who by the very nature of being such have not paid into the healthy service
lets take an example, not an extreme one, of someone who comes to live and work in Britain, they are here 2 or 3 years working and fall ill and have to use the health service then they return home, who is paying for those costs, well the individual may very well have had to work for a further 40 years or more to pay for those costs but hes gone back home, maybe never to return now that is the nature of immigration, or rather freedom of movement that is the problem and that is something , just one there are others, that that full fact site doesn't understand or take into account when it does its calculations there is no point quoting numbers, if you don't understand numbers |
|
By:
Does that make any sense, and do you see why that full fact site doesn't make any sense in the real world?

By:
they are basing their figures on the tax he might (or might not have paid ) for 2 or 3 years
that doesn't matter, they are wrong to base anything on that he has to be here for 70 years at least |
|
By:
OR, they could be here for 20 years, work and pay in, and not use the NHS. Because their home is here (hence the term immigrant).
I'm too tired to play games with you lfc. I work too hard and have other things to do. Plus, there is nothing to be gained - you collate the information any way you want to, really. I'm going to bed. |
|
By:
of course he could, study , so could anyone immigrant or not
that isn't the point, the point is the nature of immigration now , it costs the health service now , and will do for decades longer |
|
By:
now I know you have a closed mind to anything like this, that's ok
it doesn't stop the facts, and the facts are that that full fact site doesn't know what is talking about, or at least pretends not to don't trust it anyway |
|
By:
Its up to you study, if you disagree you are going to have to say why, after all
I have explained why I disagree of course you don't have to, that's fine |
