A department of Health and Social Care spokesman said – and I’m quoting the Times newspaper of Monday 26 – ‘We will shift our focus from treatment to prevention to ease the strain on the NHS and help people to live well for longer.
Wow! That’s wonderful. But for how long have we been reading the same mantra? How will it be implemented? When will it happen? What will they do? The report tells us that Labour have pledged to restrict the advertising of junk food as well as ban children from purchasing sugary high caffeine energy drinks. Well that should sort it!
It infuriates me because we read this stuff on a daily basis and actually come to the conclusion that in fact NOTHING at all will be done. BUT they’re going to clamp down on smokers – YET AGAIN! Easy pickings. Afraid to do what is right. Bunch of………..I could go on.
