@Moderators - is Tessa Farking Jowell now in charge at the Ministry of Moderation or something? You know who Malcolm Tucker is, right?

You might like to know that I am actually on a real ballot paper next week, being voted on at a real polling station as part of the real election.
I am standing for my parish council.

I would like to be Minister for Joined Up Thinking, with @MacB as one of my advisors.
My Portfolio would be Thinking About Things That Involve More Than One Department.
My priority would be improving Health Care. Not all the "new" money would go to the NHS. Some would go to local government to increase provision for local "convalescence" services. This would reduce, significantly I hope, the "bed blocking" of people who are able to leave Hospital but not well enough to go home. I would also increase the number of Health Care Assistants in Hospitals. You do not need four years' training to assist someone to eat their meals, or visit the bathroom or any number of other tasks. Paying Agencies to provide nurses would need to be curtailed. I do not want to pay an Agency £100 per hour for nurses.
Further detailed advice from @User would be welcome.
Although we need more Doctors, I would reduce the Junior Doctors work (70 hours a week?) to reduce the turn over of Doctors who leave the NHS to go to Australia.
Waiting lists for Physiotherapy need to be shortened. While people wait ten weeks for Physio, they get worse, then take longer to get better.
People who would like to do so, can do Voluntary work for more than sixteen hours a week. They might even wish to volunteer to work in a Hospital or a Convalencence Home who knows? Voluntary work requires skills, not just making hot drinks. Well, not too hot, we do not want people to risk spilling hot liquid.
Applications are welcome from anyone else who can do Joined Up Thinking. @User14044 - please note that joined-up writing would be a bonus. I would also welcome applications from someone (@accountantpete ?) who can accurately Work Out Big Sums.

My Putting of Thoughts on to Tinternet was precap percipit precipitated by Mr Miilibunk saying that he would employ 8,000 more Doctors in the NHS by 2020. It takes seven years to train a Doctor.
Is he going to shorten the time taken to train a Doctor?
Is he going to increase the number of places in Teaching Hospitals?
Has he forgotten that there are currently (at a guess) 2,000 vacant posts for Doctors?
Why do empty ambulances wait outside a hospital Emergency Department for two hours while their patient waits for a space in A & E?
Opening one's mouth and declaring the intention to increase the number of Doctors, will butter no parsnips!

Rules us both out, then
Could you do the Big Sums, and make the Tea? @accountantpete could do the shpelling and buy the biscuits.
Oh yes, I would like a Procurement Executive - any volunteers?

I was going to apply for the post of Thinking Significant Thoughts Officer (I can do sums, too), but I don't like parsnips. Your loss.

In order to accommodate your wishes, the Parsnips could be eliminated. Which would your prefer? Chocolate cake or Bacon Butties?
