Gale`s Westminster View - September 2021

GALE`S WESTMINSTER VIEW - SEPTEMBER 2021September. The hideous repercussions of the retreat from Afghanistan rumble on.

Gale's Westminster View – Social Care and Healthcare

GALE'S WESTMINSTER VIEW – SOCIAL CARE AND HEALTHCAREFor far too long successive Governments of all political persuasions have failed to constructively and definitively address the related  issues of social care for the elderly and the disabled and healthcare at both primary (GP) and Secondary (Hospital) levels and to find the means to adequately if not generously fund both.
