    The cost of living in the south east

    Is it me or does anyone else struggle with the cost of living in the south east. I work for the NHS and so does the wife. We effectively haven't had a pay rise for 7 years. We earn the same in our roles as someone in say Carlisle. The main difference being that you can buy a house there for...

    Ransomware

    Is the Zone protected from the latest ransomware called "WannaCry" that attacks Windows operating systems and infecting them around the world? Serious question, as I do not want to loose my Shrimpers football fix. Is this Pandemic which has now spread to over 100 countries, is it that...

    National Heath Service

    The British Red Cross have been deployed to 100+ hospitals to assist with day to day tasks that the NHS can't cope with. They have called this a 'humanitarian crisis' and have said 'we call on the UK government to allocate immediate funding to stabilise the current system and set out plans...

    Virgin Care

    I wonder why the BBC aren't reporting on this anywhere on their website today - I'd argue this is a bigger story for UK residents than the US Election this week... "Virgin handed contract to run 200 NHS services as Tories sell off more of our health service"...

    NHS Junior Doctors Industrial Action

    It's probably time to open up this particular issue. NHS Junior Doctors are taking industrial action for the first time in 40 years. So, is it ever right for medical staff to take this sort of action? The BBC took a poll very recently to see what patients' views towards this action were. Two...

    Junior doctors row: 98% vote in favour of strikes

    The title says it all. For a 98% vote to have occurred here the junior doctors must be pretty upset. Lets hope there is a bit of sense here from both sides and arbitration can sort it out. At the moment that looks pretty unlikely. I'm not certain, but I believe this is the first time in the...

    Can the Government find the money to pay for a truly seven day NHS?

    The question is in the title and my national newspaper carried a full one page notice from the BMA posing the question. Rather than reproduce the ad, the website is below: www.bma.org.uk/working-for-change/doctors-in-the-nhs/seven-day-services/show-us-your-plan If you're interested, have a...

    The NHS Is Safe Under the Tories

    Targets missed again: BBC It's also interesting to see that before the last GE the targets were higher, and even when the NHS failed to meet them, it still outperformed the current targets. Well done tories.

    Privatisation of the NHS

    http://www.guardian.co.uk/business/2012/sep/16/health-firms-nhs Coming near you soon -a privatised GP's surgery and Community Heath Centre.Run by Richard Branson (and presumably with Rupert Murdoch's full support). Is this the beginning of the end for the NHS as we know it?

    Getting on my pips.

    So if the clinic that fitted/installed them wont remove them, the NHS will, which means because some woman wanted bigger tits weve all got to pay for her to get rid of them. ****ing ridiculous.

    Health reforms 'will benefit most vulnerable in society'

    In a letter published in The Daily Telegraph, 42 family doctors, who together lead 1,100 practices across England, call on the Government to press ahead with the Health and Social Care Bill, and not withdraw support for Andrew Lansley, the embattled Health Secretary.
