GPs are to be paid cash bonuses in return for not sending patients to hospital, raising concerns that financial gain will be put before patients’ needs.

Doctors’ practices stand to earn thousands of pounds extra under the initiative, already said to have been adopted by health authorities across the country.

In a variety of schemes, which differ from region to region, GPs are said to have been offered unprecedented cash incentives for deciding not to refer a patient for specialist treatment. Surgeries are given a target of how many patients they should refer to hospital each year and will receive a windfall payment if they meet the quota.

What a scam!! How to reduce hospital waiting lists in one fell swoop!

GP’s are on ridiculous wages as it is and  they are already on hge kick backs from the Pharmaceutical companies.This can only be detrimental to both the NHS and the health of the public by a massive increase of drug prescriptions being issued.  But of course it’s designed to be exactly this way!

Dumb down the population!

Psychologists in the Prison Service will try to ‘cure’ extremist Muslim inmates of their political beliefs with controversial therapies similar to those used to ‘de-programme’ members of religious cults.

The experimental treatments are being developed by a special Extremism Unit set up by the Ministry of Justice in January last year, The Mail on Sunday has discovered.

Sources say the therapy forms part of a wide-ranging strategy to combat Islamic extremism in Britain’s jails.

Psychologists working with the Extremism Unit have for months been investigating ways of de-programming jihadists. Ministry sources said they planned to use ‘cognitive- behaviour’ methods, based on the notion that it is possible to change people’s behaviour by altering their perceptions and attitudes.

MI5 and the police may be allowed to secretly collect genetic samples from items such as cigarette butts and teacups under new laws that could massively expand the national DNA database.

The powers would allow investigators to break in to suspects’ homes to collect DNA which could then be shared with foreign governments to check for links to crime and terrorism.

The new law, being discussed by Parliament, would mean the ‘stolen’ samples – thousands of which have already been taken by the security services – would be admissible in court and at a stroke hugely expand the Government’s controversial DNA database.

But human rights activists fear the new powers could lead to more innocent people having their DNA stored and, due to cross-contamination, being wrongly accused of crimes or terrorism.

The proposals, which are contained in the Counter-Terrorism Bill, were outlined last week by Security Minister Lord West in the wake of Labour’s unsuccessful attempt to introduce legislation to hold terror suspects for 42 days without charge.

The move comes despite growing fears about the rapid expansion of the national database, which stores the details of 4.2million people, including 573,639 who have not been convicted, cautioned or reprimanded for any offence.

Lord West said: ‘During surveillance, a DNA sample may be obtained without a warrant. A good example might be where a person discards a cigarette or a drinks container. It can be collected covertly and a sample taken.

So they can now break into your home without a warrant and take a DNA sample without your consent and you don’t have to be arrested anymore, just a suspect!

Tradesmen working for local authorities are to be asked to report signs of child abuse and neglect as they visit the homes of council tenants.

The plumbers, electricians and carpenters will be issued with a checklist of signs to look out for, including ‘unexplained bruising’ and ‘scalds’. Training will last just half a day.

But critics believe the use of workers untrained in such a highly complex field could backfire. They say that children who are at real risk could be overlooked because social workers with already bulging caseloads could be bombarded with baseless complaints.

One of the first councils to pilot the scheme will be Lincoln, which later this month is expected to approve the policy under which about 200 ‘front-line’ staff will be given four hours’ training on child abuse, with 600 backroom or office workers attending even shorter ‘awareness briefings’.

The front-liners include any employee who visits homes as part of his or her job, including rent officers. Council-employed sports coaches and leisure-centre staff, who come into daily contact with children, will also be trained.

Signs of physical abuse they are asked to look out for include ‘aggressive behaviour/severe temper outbursts, flinching when approached or touched and reluctance to get changed, eg, wearing long sleeves in hot weather’.

Signs of sexual abuse include ‘discomfort when walking or sitting down’ and ‘pregnancy’.

Social workers have cancelled a pre-arranged access meeting between a couple and the grandchildren they are trying to rescue from council care. Their decision follows revelations of the family’s plight in last week’s Mail on Sunday.

Graham and Gail Curlew received a letter on Monday – the day after we published their story – suspending the meeting with the children, a girl aged eight and a boy, six, that had been due to take place yesterday.

The letter, from Norfolk County Council, signed by Graham Wright, its area director for children’s services, criticised the Curlews, from Sheringham in Norfolk, for involving in the case their local MP, Liberal Democrat Norman Lamb, and journalist Anne Atkins, a family friend and who wrote last week’s report in this newspaper.

The council had originally ruled earlier this month that the couple would no longer be allowed to see their grandchildren. But that decision was rescinded at a meeting two weeks ago attended by the Curlews, Mr Lamb and Anne Atkins, where it was agreed they should be given access, albeit under the supervision of social workers.

Builder Mr Curlew, 53, and his wife Gail, a 48-year-old seamstress, are committed Salvation Army members who have long made it clear that they want to foster or adopt their grandchildren, who were taken into care because of the turbulent lives of their parents, the Curlews’ daughter Claire and her drug-addict partner. Instead, they have seen their access to the children steadily eroded by the council.

This reminds me of what Brian Gerrish was talking about at our meeting. Remember?

‘Everyone who buys a mobile telephone will be forced to register their identity on a national database under government plans to extend massively the powers of state surveillance.

Phone buyers would have to present a passport or other official form of identification at the point of purchase. Privacy campaigners fear it marks the latest government move to create a surveillance society.

A compulsory national register for the owners of all 72m mobile phones in Britain would be part of a much bigger database to combat terrorism and crime. Whitehall officials have raised the idea of a register containing the names and addresses of everyone who buys a phone in recent talks with Vodafone and other telephone companies, insiders say.

The move is targeted at monitoring the owners of Britain’s estimated 40m prepaid mobile phones. They can be purchased with cash by customers who do not wish to give their names, addresses or credit card details.’

And where is Shami Chakrabarti and Liberty and of course our “Champion of Freedom” David Davis when all this is going on??

Probably at the Ditchfield Foundation or addressing the American Enterprise Institute or Common Purpose!
