The Caring Left

[becky]

Getting back on topic here (well, someone needs to....) what I don't see is why providing education to children with cancer or any other medical condition that hospitalises them) is seen as any sort of responsibility of the NHS in the first place. National Health Service - the clue's in the name. No wonder it's going broke if it's paying £115 per hour for a one-to-one private tutor!

The NHS also spent approximately £59.6 million on translation and interpretation services in the 2022/23 financial year.

The waste and inefficiency is a characteristic of most government activity. The Left of course want much more of it.

If you lot are really lucky, you will make it the perfect echo chamber you all want to espouse your nonsense unchallenged.

And that was just on contracts for its own doctors.

Children in a NHS hospital in Scotland, including cancer patients, are being refused a free education on the wards because they attend private schools. Parents have been told to pay £115 an hour for the one-to-one tutoring that state-school children receive for free. This for children whose parents have paid taxes that supposedly funds their treatment in hospital. The Left continue to plumb new depths in callousness.

Can I just jump into this echo chamber and add this little snippet. Sorry it’s the Mail but perhaps they are the only ones prepared to report it?
It would be interesting to know how much the parents of these children are paying in tax/NI Contributions.

Boy, 8, turned away by NHS because he is a private school pupil

Tory MPs described the move as 'morally indefensible' and a symptom of Labour's 'vile class war'.

I find that unbelievable, I trust Putin for honesty above the Daily Mail,as an example in 1914 before war broke out they paid for four men dressed as german infantry to walk up and down Oxford Street (it caused a great deal of alarm), no low is beyond their lack of standards.Please say it is from the Mail as I read the post,i wouldn't have bothered had i known.

It wasn't just the Mail who reported the story. It was covered in the TES as well.

The Left's obsession with the Daily Mail is so funny. They think it holds the entire population in its sway and is entirely responsible for the majority of the population being conservative with a small 'c'.

Up to you whether you believe it or not obviously. Stick to the unbiased Guardian and you should be well versed in what’s going on.
As an aside I mentioned in my post it was from the Mail so perhaps you knew that and read it anyway 🤔
