The logic of closing down maternity units to give better maternity care

Has to be one of the best examples of a doublespeak speech yet. Anyone here not got private healthcare yet?

...ah this sounds like the time when they closed all the mental institutes, and the patients now treat themselves, in special communities usually under bridges or in underground stations.

I presume the same will happen in maternity. In a few months you'll probably find it quite common to see women giving birth in the subway.

I will do it for a fiver if you bring the plier

Borrow the tools and charge me to use them to give me pain? are you an Accidenture Consultant by any chance?

And please stop insulting that nice Sally Anne.

Thanks, but Frankfurt is more convenient for me.

The 11, 41 and 58 min past the hour trains are usually all jam packed from Twickenham from 07:30 until 09:30 - but there are usually seats on the 23 and 53 min trains - as most eejits don't realise that the first class compartments are actually standard class on the Windsor trains.

Aaahh... nice relaxing seat with table etc etc.

That entirely true? I get SW trains every day, and from what I can tell about two years ago they upped the number during rush hour plus replaced all the old crappy ones so overall the service is bucketloads better. Maybe that's just in my neck of the woods though ...

Yes it's true on the Weymouth, B'mouth, London line.

In they same way that Southwest Trains got a grant of £6,000,000 to elevate overcrowding and they spent it on a report (paid to their directors) that recommended cutting back the number of trains in the rush hour, Now there are less trains to stand in therefore less trains are overcrowded.

Back in UK after earning my name (expat) for 16 years, I now need a dentist. Don't laugh.

Tried to find a dentist near me that will take new NHS patients and see me on a Saturday in the not too distant future. NHS web site told me that there was one. Guess what? It was wrong.

So Do I just take an appointment on a weekday somewhere not reall near home, and take a day off work? Say, for a crown: 1 appointment exam, 1 appointment prep & impression, 1 appointment fit. 3 days unpaid.

Or see a dentist near work in Frankfurt, and just pay? Quicker and cheaper. I have an appointment in Frankfurt tomorrow morning.

And I bet the German dentist speaks better Engxxxxxxxxxxx mmmff mustn't say that!!!

Could that be the same as closing down the labour party to give us a better government ..............



Nah, that one makes sense !

Doublespeak

Well if everyone will keep voting New Labour in what do you expect.

Bit the same as closing down Harlow Wood Orthopaedic Hospital (recognised the world over as THE best place for orthopaedics) to improve orthopaedic care at the Queens Medical Centre.

That they then sold the land the hospital was on and built a load of houses that new lie donors made pots of money out of it is just a scurilous rumour.
