woolley Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 Yep. Gove was good in his summing up of the confidence motion the other day. He reeled off a list of large new inward investments in the UK by multinational companies then said: ".....and all of this, in the words of the BBC, despite Brexit."

Quote But when we think about confidence in this country and in this government, there is a daily vote of confidence – executed by the individuals investing in this country, creating jobs and opportunity for all our citizens. Under this government, this country remains the most successful country for foreign direct investment of any country in Europe. With more than £1,300 billion being invested in the last year. That is why Forbes magazine says that this country is the best destination for new jobs in the world. Once again, London has been recorded by independent inspectors as the best place in the world for tech investment. Boeing opened a new factory in Sheffield to create jobs for British workers. Chanel moved from France to London in order to establish a new corporate headquarters. When Starbucks moved from Amsterdam to London in order to to ensure more investment in jobs, the Opposition should wake up – and smell the coffee. All of this all of this – in the words of the BBC – “despite Brexit”. Though that investment, those jobs that have been created under my right honourable friend the Prime Minister’s inspirational leadership, As we heard, 1.9 million more children in good or outstanding schools. It is also the case that the gap between the poorest and the richest in our schools has narrowed under this Conservative government. We also have a record level of investment in the NHS: £394 million pounds extra every week for our NHS. cough....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quilp Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 I was heartened by the resounding cheer which spontaneously erupted from the Derby audience on QT last night in response to Isabel Oakeshott's suggestion that the UK should just walk away from brexit negotiations without a deal. The look on Fiona's face was a peach... Has anyone else noticed that remainers unusually pronounce it as 'bregsit' rather than 'brexit'? Is it a class fing init?

BBC News at One still hinting that the uncertainty of brexit could make things worse. Been the same for at least 10 years, says the government's Chief Pharmacist who also stated that people have put 2 and 2 and concluded that it is because of brexit, when it isn't. Why would that be..? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would that be..? generic tablets can be made by anyone..... the main warehouse/ manufacturing plant has over 100 million tablets at one time...... they can do runs if they need more.... the tablets made by phama companies often get made and stored in the same place..... you can bet that the phama companies will try up the prices over this.....and the nhs will pay.....

P.K. Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 The NHS is financially “unsustainable” and the government’s much-trumpeted 10-year plan is inadequate to rescue cancer, mental health and social care services, the National Audit Office (NAO) has warned. Years of underinvestment have resulted in longer waiting times, critical staff shortages and “substantial deficits” that have been covered up by raiding funds for long-term reform, an NAO review found. These factors “do not add up to a picture that we can describe as sustainable”, it said. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/health/nhs-funding-spending-government-national-audit-office-conservatives-matt-hancock-a8733016.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're so bigoted you can't recognise "balanced" reporting when it's right under your nose: Why is this happening? Industry figures all stress that there is no single, neat answer to explain such a complicated situation. Suggestions for reasons behind the shortage include: increased global demand cost of raw materials new regulatory requirements driving up costs fluctuations in exchange rates generic companies being unwilling to carry on selling unprofitable products. Another possible explanation is that the NHS has done too good a job of driving down the prices it will pay for drugs. The PSNC says this makes the UK a less attractive market for manufacturers. Has Brexit had an impact? The government has told manufacturers of both branded and generic drugs to stockpile six weeks' worth of supplies, so that people would still get their medications if we have a no-deal Brexit. Hospitals, distributors and patients have been told not to stockpile their own supplies. Medicine shortages were at their worst in 2017, and although recent figures show the issue could return to that level again, one expert says Brexit is "not a factor". "Shortages have been a problem for some years. It's a fluctuating problem. They are now worse than ever," said former Liberal Democrat MP Sandra Gidley, a pharmacist and chairwoman of the English Pharmacy Board at the Royal Pharmaceutical Society. Potential supply problems because of Brexit have led to manufactures being asked to keep a "buffer stock", Ms Gidley told BBC Radio 4's Today programme. "Unfortunately what's been happening on social media over Christmas is that people have been… assuming this is because of Brexit. There are global issues at play here." A Department of Health and Social Care spokesperson said: "We have not seen any evidence of current medicine supply issues linked to EU exit preparations." The Royal Pharmaceutical Society in Scotland said the issue was a permanent feature of pharmacy life and can happen for a variety of reasons. But Gareth Jones, of the National Pharmacy Association, thought while patients were not panicking, "unconscious stockpiling" along the supply chain appeared to be a "significant factor". Martin Sawer, of the Healthcare Distribution Association, which circulates 92% of medicines in the UK, said some businesses could be "speculating on Brexit" - investing in stock in order to make money from it later. "That's the nature of the market," he said. Looks like very "balanced" reporting to me. But you're so bigoted that when the BBC report the other side of the story line they're somehow dissing the previous viewpoint they reported on WHICH CLEARLY THEY WERE PROMOTING AS PER THEIR ANTI BREXIT POLICY OR THEY WOULDN'T HAVE PUT IT FIRST! Or something. Absolutely pathetic. And I mean REALLY absolutely pathetic. You didn't go to public school by chance...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course it is financially unsustainable. It is woefully inefficient. There are record amounts of money going in every year, and more projected in the next few years already surpassing the "Brexit bus" amount. It is a demand led service, and demand is at an all time high and growing, so no matter how much you pour in it will never be enough. So what do you suggest?
