I doubt they would operate for the plebs if they werent. I believe the GP's get a cut out of the profits but it seems the NHS is now such a tangled web anyhting could be happening. None of our GP's are at the practice 5 days a week. They are at their private practices for about 3 days. Used to see the same doctor who had been there years but now you tend to see a new young one each time. The older ones seem now to be at their own practice. Nobody I know has a good thing to say about them

NHS WALES - COVID UPDATE

Unreported data from Wales NHS hospitals shows that support staff, cleaners, porters etc., are 2X more likely to contract Covid from their work than front line consultants and nurses.
This data is not reported for obvious reasons, chiefly that it would turn upside down the holiness of consultants and nurses and raise too many questions related to staff & worker pay, provision of safety equipment and other safety benefits.

The NHS have a dislike for difficult questions, or easy ones for that matter, this generally being the characteristic of a corrupt organisation.

Aren't those Practices subsidized?...

[scruff1] 16/1/2021 17:26

Totally agree Minie. Thats what theyve become - triage. No different from phoning 111.
Like dentists as well - more oncerned with private practice. Got to deal with the odd pleb to keep the NHS cash rolling in. Not only that people give em a clap !

[minerve 2] 16/1/2021 17:13

Yep, just overpaid and overrated triage with a fully inflated opinion of themselves. If you run a practice you get top private business level rewards with zero risk.

Lucky to get zoom. usually just a telephone call. GP's imo have been a disgrace throughout this pandemic. Hospital staff have worked their b...x off in extreme circumstances. GP's should be ashamed of themselves. Ive lost all respect for them

[maxk] 16/1/2021 14:30

Not much chance of an answer there then. Trying to assess the health of anyone via zoom would be very hit and miss.

[joestalin] 16/1/2021 14:20

That would be a question for those GPs who deal with 80 year old people.

I hardly think that my definition would be useful.

[maxk] 16/1/2021 14:14

How would you define "fit" with the average 80+ year old?

[joestalin] 16/1/2021 12:43

"Vaccine should ONLY be given to fit people"

That has been the case ever since Edward Jenner first tried it out.

You are infecting people with a small dose of the virus.

Full steam ahead for the SNP inimplementing plans for the great 4 Day week, backed overwhelmingly at the SNP conference December 2020.

Maurice Gloden shadow secretary for the economy commented
'At the height of the pandemic, how we can be possibly considering additional costs without the associated benefits is just absolutely mind-numbingly excruciating.

“It beggars’ belief that this is being actively considered by the SNP.”

He added: “The deficit Scotland currently has is bigger than what Greece had at the height of the financial crisis.

“When you add on a four-day week and a £2.5billion deficit onto that, you have an economic calamity on your hands."

UK hospitals have been relatively empty compared to Europe – so why is the NHS struggling?


Our stiff upper lip could be to blame for our excess mortality – the second-worst in Europe.


As politicians and clinicians alike proclaim we are in the hardest haul of the pandemic, and tearful tales from intensive care wards are the stuff of every news broadcast, is the NHS on the brink of collapse? Is the risk of running out of intensive care beds, as Boris Johnson warned this week, “very substantial”?...

We need an unlock planBy JOHNREDWOOD | Published: JANUARY 16, 2021Now the vaccines are being rolled out at some speed surely we are owed a proposed timetable to remove restrictions? The experts have always wanted long lock downs and have always seemed to rely on mass vaccination as their answer. It has been hard work getting them to take adaptation and safety measures seriously as a way of re opening more businesses, and even difficult to get results from tests and trials of various treatments to cut the death rate and the severity of the bad cases.This week has been about securing sufficient deliveries of vaccine and sorting out arrangements to get the inoculations done. There have been debates about the relative role of GPs, pharmacies, hospitals and large temporary centres. The system seems to favour large facilities capable of carrying out many procedures, and favours NHS leadership. Let's hope it goes well.Meanwhile damage is being done to many small businesses and the economy has declined again. the Chancellor resists all requests to give more temporary help to businesses .I am pressing for more measures to support the economy and a clearer path back to work.

...and 29 people reported to have side effects after they get the second dose."Vaccine should ONLY be given to fit people"( my comment...really? Then what's the point of taking the vaccine in the first place if you are healthy and fit)

Brexit Britain remains top choice for finance firms - 'Why would anyone move to Paris?'


THE CITY of London will continue to thrive in Brexit Britain with it remaining a top choice for firms, an independent economist has said.

Julian Jessop, an economics fellow at the Institute of Economic Affairs, who has previously worked for the Treasury, HSBC and Standard Chartered Bank, made the claim. He said despite predictions of 75,000 jobs moving to the continent after the UK left the EU, a relatively small number of people had relocated.


He said the UK's laws and regulations were far more favourable to businesses and meant Britain would remain a global finance hub.

He told Express.co.uk: "We're a relatively low tax economy, with far more flexibility in hiring in the labour market.

"These are advantages we had within the EU, so leaving the EU doesn't change that, but nor does it remove them.

"I remember talking to somebody from a very well known British bank who said 'why on Earth would anybody want to set up any sort of business in Paris? because of all the regulation you get and the high taxes.
