no-deal Brexit could have a "serious effect" on the ability of the police to fight crime, a watchdog has warned. Biometrics commissioner Paul Wiles raised the concerns in his annual report which was submitted to Parliament on Thursday. In it, he said: "The last year has been dominated by concern about the possible effects of Brexit on European exchanges and cooperation. If the UK is excluded from the main exchange mechanisms, that would have a serious effect on the police ability to deal with inter-country and international criminality.

Whereas when I was insured by company Y, I could visit the nearby hospital. That nearby hospital has a contract with company Y but not with X. Patients insured with X have to travel 20 km. on their own costs.
Apparently, so the comment went, nobody had realised where tha patient lived yet had sent an appointment by post to the home address!

Another example, same family. Three members each needed to have a scan, a check to see that serious genetic problems had not been passed on. Three appointments were made on two different days, on one day the two appointments made were one in the morning and one in the afternoon. Putting aside the travel to the same place twice, parking at the hospital is both horrendous and costly. We should not have to pay for parking anyway, it's a hospital where unwell people go for investigations and possibly treatment!
Why could not those appointments have been made on the same day one after the other, it's absolutely ridiculous!
These are small problems I know but added up people are getting really fed-up with it all!
