Today, we celebrate George's birthday with hearts full of gratitude for the incredible music he gifted the world. As we honour his legacy, let's turn up the volume and let his songs fill our lives. Here's to George, whose melodies and lyrics continue to inspire and uplift us all.
I've been in medicine for 50 years, this is my honest view on the different plans for NHS/healthcare from the main political parties.
Labour's plan lacks ambition and the Tory's plan is defensive - more of the same just will not do.
The party with the best plan? Reform.
Honestly, with the Tories - I don't trust a word they say. They've had 14 years to sort this out, and have failed. There is no other word.
I'm not getting involved in any other policy areas, but on health these radical Reform ideas might just work.
'All frontline NHS and social care staff to pay zero basic rate tax for 3 years'
'Use Independent Healthcare Capacity'
'Tax Relief of 20% on all Private Healthcare and Insurance'
'NHS Patients will receive a voucher for private treatment if they canโt see a GP within 3 days'
'Improve Efficiency. Cut Waste and Unnecessary Managers'
'End training caps for all UK medical students'
'Write off student fees pro rata per year over 10 years of NHS service for all doctors, nurses and medical staff'
We must try something different with the NHS, and this is certainly that. I've written on my support for many of these policies, it's good to see them being pushed into the debate.
Reform is at least offering radical ideas, and we need radical solutions.
I've been asked for my honest opinion, this is it.
@NeelBParekh Ahh fantastic pictures, relived my trek to EBC, many years ago. Stunning scenery & humbling, kind, content humans. It certainly makes you grateful for all you have - and such a positive character building experience too ๐๏ธ๐๐๏ธ
@sophieraworth No.. crazy times. I too called a friend to chat, friend texts, โall okay?!โ Called a decorator to discuss dates, asked him to call me. He text me back. No one wants to speak - or answer their phone ๐คท๐ฝโโ๏ธ
