NHS

I am sorry that I am again on about the NHS but Ed Balls this morning on the Andrew Marr show saying that the Labour if elected next year will add £2.5 billion extra into the NHS budget, this he says will mean an extra 22,000 nurses and 8,000 GP's, just where do these people live?, they are not in my world at all, as I have just said the NHS just can't get enough nurses as it is so just where does the Labour party think they will get these staff from? then I have to say my GP Surgery has been trying to replace two GP's who have retired for 9 months and still haven't, as has a second surgery in the area, so I have not the slightest idea as to where they expect to manage to get 8,000 from is beyond me, I have an idea why not pay them a proper salary then possibly we may be able to hold on to the ones we have now rather than they leaving the service as they are doing now.

NHS

I see in the papers today that the NHS is recruiting Nurses from Europe, good you might say and so would I, but as always there is a fly in the ointment, most of the ones they have take on can't speak or read English, so what use is that ?, seems not to matter to the people taking on these nurses, one of my maim things that I promote in the hospital is Patient Safety, just how can patients be safe on a ward where the nurses do not speak English, part of a nurses job is to keep up to date with advances in patient care mostly done by e-learning, so why is it that we have so few nurses coming through that are British, well it is my mind sad to say nursing is a University Degree course yes they learn all about illness but for me the one thing many miss out on is working on the ward, many do not understand the word Care it is not part of the vocabulary of these new nurses coming through, the old SRN has gone as has the SEN, now when you visit a hospital you need an instruction book as to what all the different colour coats/jackets that they wear, blue, pink and all sorts meaning as a patient you do not have the slightest idea as to who you are talking too or of what relevance they are too your treatment!, all in all it is a real pigs ear, it really has to be asked why do we not have a grade of nurse in between a health care assistant and a nurse, some who would be a real asset to the profession are being passed by because they do not have the ability to study at university, but they would cope very well with a college on ward training, with out this sort of openings we are to be lumbered with highly educated nurses who have not the slightest idea as to how to care for some poor old person because they have never been told, so sad!!.  

immigration

Immigration the dirtiest word in the British Language, but at long last some of the benefit claims of immigrants have  been recognised, I struggle to understand all these people on TV consistently telling me just what a big benefit to the country these people are, and they pay more in than the take out, I think that is just silly, many are in this country on their own  sending money out of the country to their families living abroad, nothing wrong with that as such but it means that money earned in this country does not get spent here, I would love some one to explain just how it is that immigrants can claim child benefit when their children are living in a different country that just can't be right, and again how are they able to claim Tax Credits?, I know British people  who have a hell of a job obtaining this help, this has to be sorted out, I keep saying the pressure on our schools and health services are not sustainable, we are an Island there is only so much room and I believe that it is time to put up the Full sign at the door. 

Syria

I had to laugh this morning seeing the news where these two Jihadists had returned to the UK, one with pictures of himself with an AK 47, plus many other pictures regarding the training he received in Syria, then the second one had 5 rounds of AK 47 ammunition in his luggage as souvenir's, they had a great defence "they did not realise that to receive terrorist training in Syria was a criminal offence in the UK" or that's what their lawyer stated in court, it is not surprising that the judge sent them to prison, the police said that they had many more in the pipe line, isn't that worrying?, are these people in the pipe line in custody or are they on bail?, seeing what Liberty has to say on the matter I would think that they are on bail, it is said that there are hundreds of UK citizens fighting in the Middle East, possibly killing, raping and torturing, if they return to the UK where are we going to hold them or will they be free to be at large in the country at liberty to carry on their trade in death, organisations like Liberty & Amnesty act in the defence of people who are being tortured and imprisoned illegally, but they have no right to defend people who have carried out the exact terrorists criminal activities that they so argue against in countries round the World but for some reason accept these killers back to the UK with open arms more concerned by their human rights rather than the human rights of the people who these people have offended against!!. 

Ebola

We have a major problem in this country regarding staffing of the NHS, we have not got enough nurses to staff our hospitals, in some cases this can be seen as at dangerous levels, we are importing nurses from anywhere we can get them from, so what do we now do? why send 1000 nurses to work on the Ebola problem in Africa, now I am desperately sorry for these people they do not deserve such an illness inflicted on them, but who else is helping?, Royal Engineers have been out there building hospital buildings,  the Army Medical Corps have sent staff to help, we have a charity pop record raising funds, people volunteering to go and help, just how much more are we as a Nation expected to give, I really, really hope that no senior person suffers over this commitment, we are coming to the middle of winter and we all know just how many elderly patients die over the winter period, so I hope that this depletion of staff  does not cause unnecessary deaths to our people, we have to draw a lie somewhere in the sand it might be time to do that now rather than later.  

UKIP

So another seat won by UKIP, must be a lot of racists living in the area, I heard a certain shadow minister last night liken them to the BNP, it is really sad that under no circumstances do these leaders of this country have the slightest idea as to what the population thinks and feels about life in England today, we have to thank the Labour party  for their open door policy for immigration they now suggest that there needs to be an immigration policy for the UK to restrict entry, so in my mind that admission  by both parties means that UKIP have been  right on immigration all along, when they think they are about to loose the trough that their noses are in they always reply with a vitriolic attack on the enemy, this country has very many educated people who fully understand just what is happening in the cities, they see with their eyes just what is going on, they have made an intelligent well informed decision as to just what is happening, this view is an honest view it is in no way racist in any way, but the MP's just think we are a bunch of idiots who do not have the slightest idea as to what governing the UK entails, well many of us do, many research what is happening they understand the silly games that the elite (allegedly) play, if you start at the beginning and do  not believe a word that they say to you, you  just might understand the deviousness of these people who rule us!!.  

NHS

I see that A&E units all over the country are being overwhelmed by silly people attending with what I can only call  silly problems, Accident & Emergency is literally just what it means, if you are not seriously ill been involved in a life threatening accident you do not need to attend A&E, a drop in centre or a minor injuries department is for you, please do not waste needed resource's at the hospital!!, you have a GP or of course 111 for advice, it is simple really, we have to be educated regarding A&E, I have been there in an emergency to see the place packed with people who without a doubt did not need to be there, and worse they get really stroppy with the staff when they are told that they do not need to be there, I think that it is time to charge for attendances at A&E if treatment is not required and you have effectively wasted the staffs time, but of course these same people who waste time will be up in arms if anyone should make them pay, we have a free service so lets keep it free for as long  as  we can, and these unthinking people who cause massive delays in A&E services should be educated and made to pay for their total disregard for the waste of money they are to us the tax payers.
