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:mad:

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.

:)

Hope so. Next they will be saying if your not on your death bed,get to work.
 
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.

:D what next.. are you for real?..if you think this is bad then I can tell you it will be alot worse when you lot get in government.
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)

I can only imagine this related to the ones abusing the system and not for genuine people who need it.
 
if you can as ya say, why change one tosser fer another?:confused: makes no sense at all.:confused:
We have to have a government in so we dont have much choice but to vote and the opposition has to be better than than the current one. I have never known the country in such a state or people struggling to make ends meet than under this government
 
Oh i got a choice n i'm using it,life has taught me that the opposition care even less fer the ordinary folk. n i have first hand experiance of em.

You can "imagine" all you like.. the fact is that everyone having a "sicknote" will be required to go through a test if they have been sick for 6 weeks or more.. everyone ...even the bedridden and invalids.. that is the reality of a Tory Government.
