Precious…

You may not come to work wearing a stethoscope or a uniform and you may not stand at the bedside but we all know, the NHS can only deliver its fabulous care, as a team. Everyone is important.

Precious… I’ve just had a tally up. I have written 206 eLetters this year. Yes, I know… they are a mixed bag of […]

Seasonal enough…

Others may well be saying; ’No, we’ve cancelled our big, family get-together, because of you know what…’

Seasonal enough… Are you getting in the mood? It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas… last Christmas… … it’s a very tricky […]

Inference…

‘…the aim is simple. Between now and the end of this year, we need to offer jabs to everyone eligible.’

Inference… The company had been spit-n-polishing for weeks. The day had arrived. The American owner was on his annual visit. Right on schedule, the […]

Hazardous…

The NHS will bust-a-gut but… a million a day will not be enough and to pretend it is, is a fraud on the public.

Hazardous… Don’t go to the office if you don’t have to… but do buy a sparkly frock and turn up for the […]

Auditors…

It seems someone at the NAO is very proud of the fact, they’ve found the departmental calculator.

Auditors… I wonder if we are entering a new period in the history of our nation? The era of institutional uselessness. The […]

Fix it…

I have said, time and again, the No10 press office dissemble, deceive and frankly, lie. Now you have the proof. Half a dozen young people recruited for their talent and ambition, turned into liars. How much more have they concocted lies about, how much more has been misleading?

Fix it… Events of recent days need no amplification from me. You can make up your own mind about integrity, moral authority […]

Some more rules…

If it’s possible for smart people, with smart lawyers, to wave millions out of the care system, we need some new rules.

Some more rules… Don’t get old in BoJo’s Britain, seems to be an emerging theme. Did you watch Monday night’s BBC, Panorama? […]

A people problem…

If waiting and depravation combine as an election issue, they create a complex, exquisitely intricate and difficult problem that demands solutions beyond political bravado.

A people problem… The London skyline hangs heavy, in slate grey. Freezing rain sifts across the streets. People in the north of England […]

Don’t get old…

We're told; GPs are too busy to deal with the overwhelming bureaucratic burden of doing the health checks. Nevertheless, they are not too busy to pocket the cash…

Don’t get old… It’s an either-or, start to the week. Either; Amanda Pritchard, new-NHS-Boss, and Nikki Kanani, NHSE’s top GP, have lost […]

Trollope…

as transparent as the freemason’s rule book and as credible as the woman who took four positive pregnancy tests and worried about how she was going to bring up four children.

How shall I put it? I’ll be kind. No19 had a hellava time doing the media rounds yesterday morning. Jenny Harries, the boss […]
