Scotland Needs Its Own NHS
I think Scotland should have its own fully autonomous National Health Service, free from Westminster control. This is needed because the current system is clearly not working for us, with decisions made in London that don't take into accoun
This assisted dying bill is a distraction from real needs
Saw Mrs. Price down the village last week. She’s 89, sharp as a tack but frail. Her husband’s been gone ten years, and she told me she’s just lonely. Her GP visits once a month, a nurse calls in twice a week. It’s not enough. She needs more
Stop messing with patient records, just fund the GPs instead.
We need to mandate that all GP practices have a robust, fully integrated electronic patient record system that talks seamlessly to secondary care. This isn't about abstract data concerns; it's about making sure the right information is wher
Dignity in Dying: A Compassionate End to Suffering, Not a Shortcut for the State
It’s absolutely right that we talk about dignity at the end of life. No one should have to endure unnecessary suffering. However, I’m deeply uneasy about the focus on assisted dying as the primary solution. My concern, as a teacher and a mu
Dying with Dignity, Not Just a Privilege
As a Labour supporter and a teacher, I believe that the right to die with dignity should be a fundamental human right, not just a privilege for those who can afford it. The current system is failing those who are terminally ill, and it's ou
Backing Our Local Pharmacies, Properly
I've lived in Grimsby all my life, love, and I've seen how much our local pharmacies do for the community, but they need more support, not just a bit of extra cash. We should be looking at a more comprehensive approach, one that ties fundin
Dignified Death, Not State Sanctioned
The idea of assisted dying is a complex one, but it's clear that the state has no business being involved in it. As someone who believes in personal responsibility and individual freedom, I think it's crucial that we allow people to make th
Enough with the GP waiting lists, let's get proper mental health support in schools
My daughter’s friend has been struggling with anxiety for months. Her parents finally got her a referral to a child psychologist, only to be told the waiting list is over a year long. A year. For a teenager who’s clearly in distress. It’s h
Fix Social Care Now
I was at the doctor's surgery with my mum the other day and saw an elderly woman, clearly in a lot of pain, being told she'd have to wait months for a care assessment. It wasn't right, and it's not the first time I've seen something like th
Invest in Schools, Not Just Pills: A Real Health Revolution
This idea about pharmacies has some merit, I'll grant you. My partner Jade, who's a midwife, sees the strain on the front lines of healthcare daily. Making it easier for people to get basic help for minor issues makes sense on the surface,
Scrap the NHS lottery system
What's the point of having a national health service if you can't even get a doctor's appointment when you need one, I mean I've had passengers who've had to wait months for a routine checkup. I was talking to a bloke in the back of my
Sort Out Our Hospitals Already
I was at the hospital in Scunthorpe last week visiting my mate Dave, he's been in for a knee op, and the state of the place was shocking. The wards were understaffed, the equipment was outdated, and the waiting times were ridiculous. I saw
Enough is Enough! Let's Actually Fund Our NHS, Not Just Clap For It
I was in the GP waiting room last week, same as everyone else, and overheard this poor woman practically in tears. She’d been trying to get an appointment for her mum, who’s seriously unwell, for weeks. Kept getting palmed off, told the ear
Sort Out The NHS Waiting Lists Already
I had a passenger the other day, poor bloke, been waiting for a knee replacement for over a year, and he's still got no date for the op. He's in agony, can barely walk, and it's affecting his job, his family, everything. I've seen this time
Sort Out Our NHS
What's the point of having a national health service if you can't even get a doctor's appointment without waiting weeks, I mean come on. I've been saying it for years, the system's a mess and it's only getting worse. My proposal is to go ba
Seriously, why are we still relying on paper appointment letters? It's 2024!
Why are we still posting out paper appointment letters for the NHS? We know half of them get lost, arrive late, or are just ignored. It’s a ridiculous waste of time and money, and it’s actively making waiting lists worse because people miss
Scrap the NHS Bureaucracy
What's the point of having a healthcare system if you can't even get a doctor's appointment without waiting weeks, all while the administrators are getting paid more than the nurses. I mean think about it, we're pouring all this money into
Enough with the 'postcode lottery' for cancer drugs, Holyrood needs to sort this.
My sister-in-law down in Ayrshire was diagnosed with breast cancer last year. She was told the latest targeted therapy drug wasn't available on the NHS there, but it was for folk in Glasgow. Had to fight tooth and nail, and honestly, it fel
Compassionate Endings, Not Just a Right
I've always belived that the issue of assisted dying is a deeply personal one, and it's definately time for a more compassionate approach. As someone who's passionate about social justice and human rights, I think we need to be looking at t
Scrap the NHS Bureaucracy
What's the point of having a national health service if it's just going to be bogged down in paperwork and red tape, I mean honestly, my sister's a nurse and she spends more time filling out forms than actually nursing, it's madness. My pro
