Healthy backing for civil service jobs
9:31am Friday 30th July 2010 in
BENENDEN Healthcare Society is delighted to see York Central MP, Hugh Bayley making a strong effort to promote York as a potential site for more civil service jobs (York MP in job battle, July 20).
We have a long-standing relationship with the public sector.
The society was formed in 1905 by Charles Garland, a post office worker who used the mutual model of membership to help his fellow workers get treatment for TB, which was expensive at the time.
Additionally, up until 1997, we were known as the Post Office & Civil Service Sanatorium Society.
Even though our name is now less of a mouthful, we are still strong supporters of the public sector – especially within the York area, where we have been a proud member of the community since 1990.
We hope the Government will recognise that York is a fantastic place in which to live and work.
This city is the ideal location for civil service departments and, indeed, other aspects of the public sector.
Best of luck with your efforts, Hugh!
Neil Barnes, Community relations executive, Benenden Healthcare Society, Holgate Park Drive, York.

Betrayed Pensioners - and you think Tories would have done better. Made mistakes (75p raise) but remember winter allowance and others
Winter fuel allownace is an electoral bribe and pensioners should receive a decent weekly pension rather than bribes and begging bowls.

Every now and then we would get a headline in the Press telling us what he was "trying" to do, then nothing else about it.
What a useless MP.

They were authoritarian and frightening in their desire to control us.
They did not build any new council housing and care about carers or those needing care.
The current crop appear to be considering all kind of things but we won't know until their October review if and where the axe will fall.
But one thing is for sure it will be the poor and weak and not the strong and healthy that will suffer.
They are all the same.
