NHS thefts prevent treatment of our sick and disabled people
First Published January 27, 2008 I read today in "The Sunday Post" newspaper that our National Health Services could afford to employ another 750 nurses if they could stop the fraud that is occurring within its organisation. Apparently in the next few days they are launching a new campaign to make employees aware of the problem with DVDs and other educational tools to make staff think about the issue and help stamp it out.

Or maybe we simply play fair by having people meet our standards before we treat them differently. Often this ...

February 8, 2008 Britney Spears and her mental health problems For weeks now all our tabloid press and celebrity gossip magazines have featured pictures of Britney Spears. The latest news which no-one could have missed was of course her being detained in a psychiatric hospital. The fact that she is legally detained means that the problem is serious enough for medical experts to believe she is a danger to herself or others. It does not mean she has given permission for all her legal rights to privacy to be taken away from her and neither has the law done that. Yet that is ...
