THOUGHT FOR DAY: In 2021 LTA@£1.073m = public sector pension of £46,657 before breaching

With inflation 10.1% '22, 7.9% '23 LTA should be £1.423m buying same pension of 46.7k

Instead LTA will by 27/28 be real terms £818k = pension just £35.6k!

Blaming GPs for not enough appts is like blaming the only worker on the tills at Tesco, for your wait and blaming them for all the other empty tills
Then telling them to work 24/7 so it doesn’t happen again

10% of the population consult GP each week

Blame MPs not GPs #GPCrisis

On 30th April, we will be climbing Lochnagar (mountain in Balmoral estate) carrying a whisky barrel (about 100kg) to the summit and back. It will likely take 10-12 hours and is the first time anything like this has been attempted. Could be dangerous if we drop it!

A final pic from today’s run. The white bike is a memorial to James Harrison. He was a research nurse, but working in the Infirmary on the Covid wards when he was killed cycling to work in June 2020.

We need to keep working on making our roads safer for cyclists & pedestrians.
