Jeremy Hunt made such a good job of the NHS and social care as Health Secretary that he has been promoted to take over from Boris as Foreign Secretary.

Even on the slowest of slow days, Jeremy Hunt is hardly worth a thread on our messageboard. What on earth are you thinking 59/60, have you no mountains to climb ?

Just when I thought it could not possibly get any worse! :blue:
I thought it newsworthy anyway.
Here is a bloke who has been in charge whilst the NHS and social care services have been in crisis.
Staff in the NHS/social care see him as inept.
Yet he gets promoted to one of the key posts in Government.
That's par for the course in Theresa's world.
Jeremy's world seems to have its ups and downs too ---just for balance ;DQuote:

He was already holding one of the key posts in government anyway, and he is replacing Boris, so the bar's not set very high is it ?Quote:

The NHS will never have enough money as the elderly population grows, babies as young as 22 weeks kept alive to become lifelong NHS users, patients can be cured of many diseases and conditions for extortionate amounts of money while some people can’t be bothered to attend clinics or discharge themselves early with no penalty.
It’s a case of managing expections of users with the expectations of taxpayers and the skills of staff for whatever government is in power.
