Sick note

as from today doctors will no longer be giving out sick notes, instead they will be issuing guidelines on what type of work a person CAN do. To me when a person goes to the Doctor they go because they have a medical problem, its already hard enough for people to get an appointment to see their GP, they should not be assessing what jobs people are able to do, that should be down to other people, their sole concern should be for the health o the patient and nothing else

Good morning Mr. Jaysay, I'm afraid today you are not fit to undertake your normal occupation, not to fear though, I have arranged that you will spend a few hours a day instead as the straight man for somebody called.. let me see, I have it on a piece of paper here somewhere, rustle, rustle.

No Jay that's not the name, those were sound effects of paper being sorted, (back to the Doctor), Ah yes, here it is you will be the straight man for a guy called, Less.

That would be impossible, a straight man is supposed to have a deadpan face, I'd be forever P*****g myself

Garinda has already found a suitable applicant for Toby Jugs.

Go on Gary, it's worthy of another outing......

Re: Sick note

Apparently one of reasons behind the changes is to drive down sickness rates. Apparently their is genuine concern for some workers who are signed off for long periods and evidence suggests it prolongs their illness,it suggests that in this respect these reforms have a positive influence for some workers. It has been thought doctors will not always have the knowledge required to make an informed decision about how much work their patient is able to do as the physical and emotional demands of jobs vary widely between work places. This is my concern.I still say its ridiculous.

Nearly half a million people could see their sickness benefits cut by £25 a week under Tory plans to reform Britain's welfare system. (as reported by the ultra Tory Sky News)
