Politicians are all the same. The problem I have is this one. No matter how wrong they get it, they know they are not going to be questioned or take responsibility.

It's frustrating to hear calls for them to 'accept the offer' when their pay has faced years of real-terms erosion.
If MPs can receive an annual pay rise without question, why is it so "irresponsible" for highly-trained doctors to fight for pay restoration after years of cuts?

Health secretary failed to protect patients by preparing the hospitals for flu. He is blaming doctors for his failure. It's not the doctors who invented Corriwards or doing ECG for patients in toilet

Wes Streeting is a Palantir plant who should be nowhere near the NHS.
Peter Thiel belongs to the same Trump/Musk cabal that want to dismantle Europe and install a far-right government in the UK.

This crisis is a total failure of NHS capacity planning. The Health Secretary must deliver an urgent, fully funded plan to end this dangerous practice immediately or resign. Patient safety demands action now.

Labour promised shorter waits and more appointments, with plans for millions of extra slots and a return to the 18‑week standard.
Hard to see how cutting treatment squares with that.

The doctors' unions would argue they are forced to strike because years of policy have eroded pay and conditions to the point where the NHS cannot recruit or retain staff, making the service already dangerous.
If anything WESS should resign for the lack of preparation to the flu season

James, first there is only one race and that is the human race. Second I will suggest we teach about history of how racism born. Perhaps this book is a good start for everyone specially politicians. THE MYTH OF RACE.

I think cardiometabolic medicine should be part of GPs work. I think we are good at treating Diabetes, HTN and CKD. However, we have no support regarding Obesity. There are no services for lifestyle. We are not allowed to prescribe injectable. Bariatrics list is 2 years. Treating Obesity is th Key

James I feel sorry for you.

That is just nonsense

For me, this is the most important point in this study
The challenges of building and maintaining relationships with patients when consultations take place remotely.

I hope the HCPs will make F2F as default method when booking patients. I was told when I was doing psychiatry that you examine patients before taking history by looking at them, so how could we do that on the phone or by text or email.
There is a role for remote appt but limited to certain things.

Nice answer from Mr Khan

So he lied , that is all what politic about. I wish if we could have a cooling period of three month after election results. Like when you buy something and send them back if not as described

General practice soon will follow, and I think that is the government's plan.
