Why don't the NHS have interpreters on their staff? Presumably because it would be much more expensive to have interpreters for all the languages they need in every town they have a hospital etc. Much more practical to have that done the way they have done it, particularly when they can't just use one of the hospital staff that does happen to speak that language when the patient doesn't have a relative who can translate etc. |

No one, just like when a relative is used. It is ridiculous to expect staff who happen to have experience of a non-UK language to be able to translate at a sufficiently high level. There is no high level involved. There's plenty of native English speakers who struggle with some of the language of medicine. That's why the medical personnel use normal language to the patients in any language. And you need a translator to be competent in both languages involved. But only in the normal language, not the language of medicine. Sure, in an emergency, anyone is likely better than no-one. Not just in an emergency. When asking where it hurts and whether it hurts when you take a deep breath etc, you don’t need any language of medicine. |

In general, single people have always been expected to find their own accommodation. Bedsit, etc. Yes and in the past this has been quite easy to achieve. From 1986 until relatively recently you could view and chose where to live. Plenty of affordable places on the market. Now can you actualy find anywhere were you could afford to live if you were looking for your first bedsit or flat ? Which is the problem with the 'bedroom tax' Very little council accommodation built for single people or even couples. Most of it for families. Yes and we all know families appear from thin air don't we. And when the kids leave, the parents end up with a house bigger than their needs - and might well happily move to somewhere more suitable, if it existed. and because there isn't they emigrate in some cases, in others they move to the coast or other areas which of course increases the prices for the locals there. I'm suprised no ones noticed that the UK population is increasing relatively fast considering we have on average 2.4 kids per couple. |
