Sorry to hear of your problem CS

gunshot to the foot can be very painful. It wasn't Labour who built the bloody hospitals, they were built with the Private Finance Initiative, which means we will be paying through the nose for decades to come

Completely different situation ! Of course I would claim & it would be genuine due to damage caused by negligence. No Mancie, the point I was making refers to spurious & dubious claims, people doing it for their own enrichment without genuine cause.

Examples of Local Fraud Cases - Dorset and Somerset Counter Fraud Service
News about the Rotherham and Dearne Valley areas - David Sammons was jailed for a year for fraud after submitting forged timesheets. Sammons (30), from Swinton, pleaded guilty to four counts of fraud following an investigation by NHS Rotherham Founda
Local Government Lawyer - Man jailed after false personal injury claims against London boroughs

take a look for yourself there are thousands out there & if you are honest with yourself you'll probably know of people who have done it.

Whats that got to do with the NHS you been on the Mancie juice

Here we go again, we've been over PCSO's in depth elsewhere,they are in all honesty useless & bring nothing but a presence on the streets costing good money that could be used better by employing proper Coppers !

But of course that really isn't your aim is it ? So long as you can have a dig at a party that doesn't suit your jaded dogmatic perception of "Proper governance" you'll turn pretty much anything into a political arguement. The title is "HOSPITAL APPOINTMENTS", why bring up PCSO's here, C'mon ? Either find the older thread or start a new one mate ! Then we can argue the toss all day long.

A QUANGO set up to slash NHS waste spent nearly £1million on staff away days and hospitality in just 16 months.

Just because money's thrown at something, doesn't necessarily make it better.

I last had the same operation I've just had, in 1985.

The care then was just as good, if not better than now.

I witnessed a lot less waste in the N.H.S. in the eighties.

Only without the bloodshed, snot & tears.

Well lets be honest, that's what he's after isn't it ? to start a virtual brawl !
