London is on the March

Here come the first casualties of the Health and Social Care bill. Thousands are marching today to save Lewisham A&E, which was going to be downgraded to shore up the neighbouring South London Trust (which they are not part of). The item's six or seven down the Beeb's list just now - apparently a shrieking tennis player doing the dying swan in Australia is more important.The terminology is also infuriating.Since when did trusts make profits or losses? They are either funded or underfunded. Auntie please take note. But it's started, and these people will not be ignored. If only they had understood what was happening last year and come out in those numbers..

A Job for Dr No?

It's the New Year - time for pastures new, striking out, going where you've never been before... How about a nice GP job on the isle of Arran? I can highly recommend the island itself. And there's a helicopter. Just wondering where Dr No is..
