Re: Interpreter Service NHS.
I have just submitted a e.mail to Jeremy Hunt the Health Secretary regarding the interpreter service this is in view of him making a statement that he wants to fine people for missed appointments.I said instead of attacking your own people to raise funds how about looking at foreign nationals and the money that they cost the NHS through the interpreter service,I said this is a scam that needs stamping out.I said quite a bit more it will be interesting to hear his comments.
Regards.

Re: Interpreter Service NHS.
Everyone should email the Ministers.
keep them at it and lets them know what people think.
Very rare you get an answer,
I emailed Andy Burnham when he was Minister for Health. the reply was......
"Don't you know, you should not email the Minister". and he is an employee of ours.
I emailed Cameron last Monday morning, I got a receipt from No 10 saying they had received it and would pass it on.
six days later I am still awaiting a reply.
Do they ever listen???
Cheers

Re: Interpreter Service NHS.
A hoax ?
W O W ! She Did It
Again!!!
Australia says NO -- This will be the second Time Julia Gillard has done this!
She sure isn't backing down on her hard line stance and one has to appreciate her belief in the rights of her native countrymen.
A breath of fresh air to see someone lead. Australian Prime Minister does it again!!
The whole world needs a leader like this!
Prime Minister Julia Gillard - Australia
******s who want to live under Islamic Sharia law were told on Wednesday to get out of Australia, as the government targeted radicals in a bid to head off potential terror attacks.
Separately, Gillard angered some Australian ******s on Wednesday by saying she supported spy agencies
monitoring the nation's mosques. Quote:
'IMMIGRANTS, NOT AUSTRALIANS, MUST ADAPT... Take It Or Leave It. I am tired of this nation worrying about whether we are offending some individual or their culture. Since the terrorist attacks on Bali , we have experienced a surge in patriotism by the majority of Australians.'
'This culture has been developed over two centuries of struggles, trials and victories by millions of men and women who have sought freedom.'
'We speak mainly ENGLISH, not Spanish, Lebanese,
Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, Russian, or any other language. Therefore, if you wish to become part of our society, learn the language!'
'Most Australians believe in God. This is not some Christian, right wing, political push, but a fact, because Christian men and women, on Christian principles, founded this nation, and this is clearly documented. It is certainly appropriate to display it on the walls of our schools. If God offends you, then I suggest you consider another part of the world as your new home, because God is part of our culture.'
'We will accept your beliefs, and will not question why. All we ask is that you accept ours, and live in harmony and peaceful enjoyment with us.'
'This is OUR COUNTRY, OUR LAND, and OUR LIFESTYLE, and we will allow you every opportunity to enjoy all this. But once you are done complaining, whining, and griping about Our Flag, Our Pledge, Our Christian beliefs, or Our Way of Life, I highly encourage you take advantage of one other great Australian freedom, 'THE RIGHT TO LEAVE'.'
'If you aren't happy here then LEAVE. We didn't force you to come here. You asked to be here. So accept the country YOU accepted.'
