SCHOOL RULES FOR ALL
DISCIPLINE in schools is hard enough to impose without ‘outside interference’.
Parents, in particular, ought to appreciate this.
When a school sends letters to all families before the summer holidays listing four simple specifications for footwear – it ought to be a simple matter to comply: black, leather, able to ‘take a shine’, no advertising logos: what is there to cause offence in this?
Seventy pounds for a glorified pair of pumps? If they aren’t leather, they aren’t shoes – and will almost certainly leak like a sieve in the depths of a typical British winter.
Just because they flaunt a logo advertising the manufacturer’s name is no excuse for the exorbitant price tag! One rule for everyone. No exceptions. peptide, and if they do not I want to know why not and if the situation is to be reviewed and the test introduced.
Heart failure is an extremely debilitating condition which affects at least 400,000 people in England and while many receive excellent care, a third of GPs and hospital trusts do not have access to the testing.
As well as the unnecessary suffering for patients and their potentially reduced life expectancy, the saving to the NHS resulting from early diagnosis, as estimated by the National Institute For Health And Clinical Excellence (NICE) is tremendous.
We are all painfully aware how the NHS is buckling under financial restraints. Here there appears to be a fantastic opportunity for long term savings for a relatively small outlay and GPs and individual health trusts must all look at the wider picture. stronger from this summer’s referendum, construction cannot be overlooked again as it plays such a major role in our economy.
We hear daily how crucial it is that we build 1m homes by 2020, and if the referendum taught us anything, it is that we need to invest in the infrastructure of our country to stimulate the economy and redistribute wealth beyond the South East.
The construction industry is suffering the worst skills shortage in history. We must turn this into an opportunity, to encourage school leavers and graduates into the industry, as well as those looking for a career change, and those leaving military service.
Construction is now a rewarding, well-paid and secure livelihood that can allow people to make a real impact on the built environment.
It may not still be perceived this way, but those perceptions are outdated. Construction is now about sustainability, technology that allows us to build a house, hotel or restaurant in just three days, creating major infrastructure like Crossrail or HS2 that will last as long as the great building projects of Brunel and Bazalgette, still marvelled at 150 years on from their construction.
