NHS Pension Scheme
‘Interesting’ that it runs a surplus of over £4.4bn per year
NHS staff with their ‘golden’ pensions costing the country £Millions.

Very foggy around here at the moment.
Many drivers seemingly oblivious to the fact that in many cases their car’s automatic day running lights only illuminate the front of their vehicle and don’t illuminate the rear at all.

Trump’s Christmas Address…
We’re visiting my parents for Christmas.
Have been there for less than 2hrs & already successfully dealt with:
IT problem (via tertiary referral to my youngest daughter). ✅
Misaligned fridge door problem. ✅
I wonder what else they’ve got lined up for me…🤔

£3 a week pays for all your GP services
This is 67p less than 8 years ago in real terms
If you can’t see a GP it’s because NHS England have cut the funding for GP practices

Things that made huge changes to the patients I saw as an anaesthetist.
Seatbelt law 1983 - saw huge change in head injuries leading to organ donation
Haemophilus influenzae type b vaccination 1992 changed the annual influx of children with acute epiglottitis needing intubation and ventilation.
