This is the start of a post to show that SCOPE do help everyone, and to say that for those that did not know the new Members of the Senedd for Scope have been announced and congratulations to all that took part.

My only disappointment is that for those who applied and were not elected to a position. To those please contact me as the skills you have are skills I may not have or be aware of since most forms and reforms to contracts and form filling would only be known if they have affected you or a loved one.

I have had MP's who have been given a position as a Health Minister or member of the Health Board, learn their trade on the job, having no previous experience or involvement in the process. Then a parent, sibling, or loved one suddenly has an accident or disability and then realise how hard it is to navigate the "benefits system"

Why should we have to fight for our rights?

We need to use the same Laws and Charters that the DWP and PIP use to assess us for benefits and take back what is rightfully ours.

Somewhere along the way, we seemed to have forgotten that before the Pandemic this was done by the NHS, and all assessment fees were paid back into the NHS for refunding elsewhere into departments that had been under-funded before and in order to generate funds and get the NHS back on track this year would reap the benefits either this year or in the near future. The assessment system and the profits made from assessment are being taken out of the NHS and paid in dividends to investors.

Is this government so silly that it cannot see that for the investments that the foreign Investors make, the profits are also being made year on year?

This is not what the NHS was designed for as the Hypothacratic Oath states. So with all the skills and expertise in our medical staff, why are we allowing our standards to drop because the profits paid out need to go up?

Force investors to reinvest in the NHS at a percentage of the profit, say at a rate just above the savings rates by 3% or 5%, or tax it as unearned income to give back to the HMRC, and back to the NHS what is rightfully theirs and to increase the skills matrix of all Staff who dedicate their lives to look after us and want to take courses to go "up the ladder" within the NHS and gain recognition of their work and dedication.

NOT, as a monetary motive, but at a skills level to show the achievements that hard work can get you. Why should they not be paid good wages? Would you do their job?

Your comments and input as the fight to regain our independence has already started for all.
