I'm on the waiting list for minor day surgery (stomach hernia repair) at our lovely local hospital - Kings. Someone from there just phoned me and asked if I would like to have my op on 30 Nov under the same consultant but 'off-site'. I asked what 'off-site' meant and the lady said Weymouth Hospital. I declined and checked the web, Weymouth Hosp is 139 miles from me.


What on earth is going on?

Ah ha - just received a kindly PM telling me they probably mean the Weymouth Hospital in Weymouth Street W1 (private hosp). The caller from Kindgs did not make that clear at all but just said Weymouth Hospital ...


I found the confusion quite funny initially but now I am probably back at the bottom of the waiting list after declining.

The Weymouth Hospital is managed by the BMI group of private hospitals. It's a small 8 bed unit just off Harley St. King's is undoubtedly trying to reduce its waiting list and at least one of its General Surgeons must have a private practice at the Weymouth.

      Is Rachel Reeves becoming the new Liz Truss?

      While they struggle with economics of UK plc, collectively we all suffer as a result of their ineptitude.

      I’ve tried to find details of surgeries being held before but not found any. The section of the Southwark website that details councillors’ surgeries says that: Your locally elected Councillors will be holding a roving surgery programme in the Dulwich Hill area to enable residents to raise any local issues. Residents will be notified by letter in advance of the date, time and specific streets/roads where the surgery will take place.  Surgeries are not held in August, on Bank Holidays, Easter or in Christmas Week.  Dulwich Hill Ward Councillors I’ve never seen any notification of surgeries being held, including on the DH councillors’ social media accounts. I don’t know if any other residents of Dulwich Hill have? Neighbouring wards all seem to have times and places posted for surgeries.

      I wouldn't feel too bad about that. It's one of the few degree areas that you can do a BA or a BSc in, so it's a fairly wide-ranging and complex subject. Certainly Truss, Kwasi and Reeves seem to struggle with it.

      I can't access the article - what's the gist?  I took the markets getting jittery when she was crying at PMQs to be a sign that they trusted her. But maybe it was because they were simply worried about any form of instability.  The NIC hikes have stymied the economy, which we could all see a mile off. Will a wealth tax improve things? Does anyone here think the trickle down has any impact and that chasing out the super rich will help things? Or are we just seeing off the biggest contributors to the economy? And has the Kwasi approach ever worked anywhere else?  Economics is not my strong point at all, I'd love to know others' opinions, but it seems to be she has few options, especially as the party is so divided.
