What could possibly go wrong?

Volunteers with no medical experience will be trained to give out jab

Thousands of volunteers with no medical background at all could be trained up to administer the coronavirus vaccine in a bid to deliver the Government's mass immunisation plans.

St John Ambulance will be one of the organisations delivering training to those who sign up, a representative for the charity confirmed on Monday evening.

In plans leaked to the Daily Mail, St John Ambulance said future vaccine volunteers would "be trained to deliver the actual injection to patients".

They would also have to "potentially react to any immediate adverse reactions".



The only criteria is that the volunteer be between the age of 18 and 69, have at least two or more A-levels or equivalent, be at low risk of Covid-19 and be prepared to undergo a reference check.

In October, the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI) recommended the Government introduce a new national protocol to allow non-medics to administer a future vaccine.

The law was amended last month to allow more healthcare workers - such as paramedics, physiotherapists or student doctors and nurses, as well as doctors and nurses working outside the NHS - to vaccinate.

This law has now been extended to include "people who are not registered healthcare professionals" to "safely administer a Covid-19 or influenza vaccine," the Mail reported.

Better than what you Luddite, The Jocks have have always had local labour governments. The Jocks get twice as much from Westminster, they give it to Labour run councils who fkin waste it that's how it works Bobster.

I'd rather be a lucky investor than a skilled one!

Actually bargainbob, government in the 18th century was better because it didn't go poking its nose into people's business. You could get on with your life without government interference. The most the majority of people would have to do with government would be going to the post office.

One of my largest holdings - Imperial Brands - might win the FTSE 350 leader board by the end of the day. Still yielding a very well covered 10% dividend folks and a rather delicious 20% Free Cash Flow to equity price ATM. Has been up to around 14% dividend. No delayed or cancelled dividend. No equity dilution.

Where have you all been?

LOL!

When I moved from HL to the Halifax I could only transfer some of the funds, some I had to sell as the Halifax didn’t deal with that particular vendor or have access to that version of the fund. HL has some special agreements with some funds for lower fees Z class etc. Fortunately for me I had to sell quite a bit and because HL were slow I had a lot in cash when the markets were tanking.

I’m up overall this year now and that luck played a big part in it

[minerve 2] 17/11/2020 10:15

Absolutely right Bob.

Better dead than a Tory head.

[minerve 2] 17/11/2020 10:14

Scotland, Wales, NI and the North of England should look to separate from the political self-serving cesspit of the South East/London and let them get on with it.

We can do much better without that part of our country and our political spectrum.

They have held us back for way too long and the politicians that represent us here can be puppets to London - although not all of them. You should have seen the clown the Tories had on C4 last night who was supposed to represent his part of the North of England. He was completely detached from reality and was a disgrace to the Northern man.

Boris , He would say that of course. What he means is that Scotland has not become Tory and in general, has rejected the Tories since 1955. His solution is to run down the Scottish Parliament and impose an autocratic regime from London. The Tories love to turn back the clock, preferably to the 18th century when the upper classes crushed the ordinary folk under their heels and ruled without any meaningful democracy. They love that. Utrickytrees I thought you were better than that .

BoJo clever to deflect attention on Brexit and Covid by slagging off devolution ... His days are numbered I think . Govey plotting now more than ever to wipe him out ..

So true and out of touch...



He said the planning and regulatory system meant that “it takes twice as long now to get through the process of building a home than it did when I started out”.

300,000 new homes needed a year, Lloyds Banking Group Big Conversation hears


BRITAIN would have to build “probably 300,000 homes a year” to help the housing market to recover, a discussion hosted by Lloyds Banking Group has heard.

Business leaders and policy makers came together to plot a future beyond the pandemic in the South East as part of a UK-wide programme of events hosted by Lloyds Banking Group.

The discussion, Building the South East Back: Helping the Housing Market Recover, was part of The Big Conversation: Helping Britain Recover.

Chaired by Michelle Blayney, Lloyds Banking Group’s ambassador for the South East, The Big Conversation panel outlined some of the biggest challenges facing the housing market in the region and also looked to the future to think of creative ways the economy can be mobilised to help it recover.

Peter Truscott, chief executive of housebuilder Crest Nicholson, told the event: “Housing is no different to any other commodity and for a generation, we have simply not built enough homes to meet the demand.

“There are a number of reasons for that but there is no quick fix solution. I’m sad to say that it’s taken 20-30 years to get to this position and it will take a long time to recover that. It is necessary to build disproportionately more homes, probably 300,000 a year, for quite some time to catch up.”

He said the planning and regulatory system meant that “it takes twice as long now to get through the process of building a home than it did when I started out”.

He called for the creation of “mixed communities”, with people able to move from rented homes to shared ownership and fully-owned homes.

Ben Everitt, Conservative MP on the Commons’ housing, communities and local government committee, said the housing market was “broken at every stage”.

“When we talk about a housing market, we have to realise it’s not really a market in the way that we know it, it’s actually just a series of market interventions that have collided with each other over the last few decades,” he said.

He added: “I would start with a large scale council house building policy but where we go from then on needs to be led by what we now know about where the houses need to be, where the demand is and what consumer expectations are.”

Eastleigh MP Paul Holmes, who sits on the same parliamentary committee, agreed with the need for council house building.

But Peter Truscott of Crest Nicholson argued against major council house building, saying it would be “competing for the same resources”.

Anne-Marie Mountifield, chief executive of Solent Local Enterprise Partnership, said the coronavirus crisis presented an opportunity to look at the skills shortage in construction.

She said the Civil Engineering Training Centre at Fareham College was addressing the issue. “It starts at entry level, providing young people and adults looking for a new career with their licence to practice. It takes them right through, for those that want to, to looking at degrees in architecture and building design.”

P9, you could have done an 'in specie' transfer, no need to cash up.

[bargainbob] 17/11/2020 08:18

Another Diversion from Bold Boris and Utricky brain cell falls for it . Time to get out of this Union . It clear Tories do not understand what a Union is .

[pinemartin9] 17/11/2020 08:17

Thanks all for the comments on the SIPP. To be honest I'm more gutted by the fact that the bloody vaccine was announced the day after I started the movement of my funds. I'd moved everything into cash for the switch. Probably going to cost me up to 10% due to the vaccine rally. Just goes to show it's all about timing!

[grahamite2] 17/11/2020 07:49

You want to watch yourself, clarky - there's talk of making it a crime to speak out against vaccination, and you've doubled up on it!
