I know it always gets bad press when it gets in the papers but I believe that there should be a clause whereby the prescriber can say, "you are not prepared to help yourself I can no longer justify wasting NHS money on you!" |
I totally agree - none of us are perfect angels at only doing what is right for us. But unless an individual is prepared to take responsibility for their health why should the state???
I know that I for one, cringe every time I see a family of obese people, as I think that is where my NI £s are going to end up. And an interesting statisic I discovered yesterday, there are now more overweight people in the world than hungry people!!
