Can the Tories be trusted with OUR National Health Service

Could I please be added to the list of those you'll notify about these scurrilous unfounded accusations?

Better lucky than deluded.

It has been happening often. I will point it out to you as well as Ana when it happens again. Aren't you lucky.

@Ankers

People on gransnet cannot seem to decide whether I am not very brainy or very brainy. There seems to be a gransnet split on that one
How and where, not to mention what has given rise to this imagined quandary?

Which people?
What is your criterion for being perceived "brainy"??

Or Humphrey Goodman
(come back Humphrey)

Ankers I didn't know what a STP was. But there was a clue in the fact that durhamjen and daphnidill were referring to them, and then in durhamjens post at 14.26 in her own words she said: All the STPs are on the map in this link
You don't have to be Sherlock Holmes to work that one out.

mcem!

Lots of people are still fighting to stop the STPs, including MPs, including Tory MPs.
It's another way of Hunt passing the buck for his failures.

I'm with ana here. I have never seen any comments anywhere that imply that ankers is 'very brainy'!

I will point it out to you from now on Ana.

I agree that it seems utterly crazy to make hospitals pay business rates.
bet they pay VAT on their fuel bills as well. The left right hand giveth and the left hand taketh away.

Sorry, I think you're imagining things. But it's not worth arguing the toss...

Several have gone down on both sides Ana!

How d'you work that out Ankers? Have any posters actually said either?

If you find tracking things down tedious, perhaps you'll hae to bite the bullet and read the damn links!

STP stands for sustainability and transformation plan.

It is the changes that are planned for your hospital trust or whatever it is called.

STPs. I have clicked on about 3 of the links. I cant work out when they are due to start.

I have to say, what has been proposed for our area looks good. Long overdo. Very good. I cant see people complaining.

This is probably one of the best links in it.

Not everything you find on google is fake news

While I am about it I will add that no one has to answer any of my posts.
I am not at all sure why some posters do, and then complain about it.

I dont/didnt know what an STP is/was.

Also, with links, personally, I mainly just look at the blue words and decide when to click.

But I do sometimes think, in some ways at least, I am like a lot of posters on here.

I cant believe that very poster clicks on every link by a long way.

So can I make some suggestions please?

When the blue words are not very explanatory, a tiny explanation of your own would/might help a lot.

When there is no clue as to what an STP or whatever is, it would be nice if it was said[but there again, you couldnt expext anyone to keep repeating what it means along a thread].

And, if I am like some posters, then trying to track down stuff often is tedious.
So if someone has found it already, then all to the good.

Obviously, no one has to take the slightest bit of notice of any of this. I shall await the flak!

They don't need to look very hard now, though, daphne. All the STPs are on the map on this link.

Perhaps whoever asked for the links is reading hers at this very moment.

Very possibly. Mine was quite hard to find.

Decent speech by Corbyn but what he needs to do is follow it through - and he never does. He needs to say how he would fund improvements. Sorry to say this, but people are tired of the sob stories. Some people don't even believe them, so he's preaching to the converted.

Blimey dj! I don't think the person who wanted you to post links really meant it!

Are we the only ones who have looked at our STPs, daphne?
