Just lock the whole Burke clan up, throw away the key and seize all their assets.
They have abused us all too much.

Is the Irish Times becoming a free advertising sheet for posh Airbnbs?
Sad
The ‘murky’ world of GP finance
This is an example of a 10,000 Patient practice
Average patient will have 7 GP practice appts/year, 1 A&E attendance every 3 years, 2 hospital appts/year
£169/patient/year goes GP
£3079 goes to hospitals
£40pa would solve GP crisis

"Cad chuige "
Surely this is "why" as Gaeilge?
Come on, a referendum???
Action now!
Resign!
Do a dentist!
Fáilte anseo.
Tá fíor Gaeilge as Dún na Gall de dhíth orainn.
You're obviously a glutton for punishment.
You realise that they are "legislators" in name only and actually couldn't legislate their way out of a paper bag never mind run a Health Service, and Education Service, an Infrastructure Service..............
Seriously, look after yourself.
Congratulations.
Good to see it's being published in The Commonwealth as well, so generous of UK, the colonial father.
Just finished it and enjoyed it lots.
Brave to have such an unlikeable main character.
Let’s go back to 2010!
We didn’t need cancer pathways as urgent referrals were seen in 2-3 weeks, routine in 2-3 months
Recruitment was rising, jobs were good. It wasn’t perfect but in 4 decades of NHS work it was the best it had been
THEN SOMETHING HAPPENED ….
I have now read your further explanation, thank you for the clarity
Apologies Jolyon, I am genuinely confused by this.
Was the original quote in the judgement incorrect?
This would have been shortly before the IRA murdered John Lee a 35 year old catholic man who had once been a British soldier. He was no threat, they just liked murdering people
And he was having four hour lunches in Chevening at the same time many of us were watching horrible messages from North Italy, scrabbling for missing PPE and having terrifying conversations about what the cut-off age for accessing a ventilator might be.
In 30years I have never been this upset with the words coming out of Government
This includes a plethora of Tory Health Secretaries
I am not part of BMA leadership
I am just a GP who gives up his time freely to advocate for patients, the NHS & make sure the facts are correct
Beautiful autumnal day in Donegal with a complete rainbow at Ballyhiernan Beach in the Fanad peninsula
Shee hoped a young family would buy it but sold it to a property management firm.
She could have sold it to a family if she really wanted to.
102,000 hairdressers in England with 40,000 salons
27,000 GPs with 6200 Surgeries
31 million people visit GPs every month a similar number have haircuts
You can see the problem @rthonwesstreeting.bsky.social judging by Wes’s trim he is going to the hair salon a lot more than his GP unlike many
Another episode of Inman's vendetta against anyone over the age of 60.
We're all rich, all work shy, we all spend our ill gotten riches on endless foreign cruises.
Apparently none of us provide childcare, volunteer or support our local economies.
Never mind taxing us, we should all be deported.
Clarkson and Dubai - made for each other.
Please let this be true.

If ever you’re in need as I was
may you have an island of strangers
like I had.

I sat on the edge of my bed
and four people came with
a frame and supported me
or took me to a gym
where they taught me how
to walk between parallel bars
or kick a balloon

I lay in bed
hardly able to breathe
but there were people to sedate me,
pump air into me
calm me down when I thrashed around
hold my hand and reassure me
play me songs my family sent in
turn me over to help my lungs
shave me, wash me, feed me
check my medication
perform the tracheostomy

In times like these I find it helpful to reflect on Michael Rosen's poem My Island of Strangers.
Time to escalate the action.
Start handling back Enhanced Services?
Oh, don't know this one, added to the list😊
Interesting fact.
NHS England pays a hospital as much to remove sutures as it pays a GP practice to look after a patient for a year.
