health learn from India? Blair, the former health adviser Paul Corrigan asks in his latest blogpost, which predicts "what appears to be the size of the stake may Nicholson - in a very short time - as evidenced in the land of milk and honey ":

In England, we have an increase in people with long term illnesses and we will not be able to process the same way we do today. We have to deliver some parts of health care with improved productivity that is two or three times what we have right now. We will have to do it because otherwise people who need treatment will not be able to get it.

Soon we will know if the NHS has the capacity to fundamentally change the way of attention or numbers on the faces of people do not care.

. A social media campaign focusing on

Energy Poverty

Turn2us recently launched, part of the national charity Elizabeth Finn Care , which is to encourage people to Twitter the amount they pay for gas and electricity as a percentage of their income. This information is then plotted on a map to show variations across the country. The latest government figures say that 5.5 million UK households are in fuel poverty - spending more than 10% of their income on energy. Turn2us want to ensure that everyone will benefit from financial support, as social benefits and subsidies, they claim they can. Turn2us Director, Alison Taylor, said:

After the announcement of rising gas prices and the giants of electricity in the summer, there are millions of people out there anxiously holding my breath for fear of the arrival of their energy bill. Through this campaign we want to highlight the alarming spread of fuel shortages across the country and ensure that people are aware of the help available to them.

. interesting new figures obtained by the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development, which reveal the true extent of the "bureaucratic burden" of flexible working in the company. A request for access to information by the ICPD reveals that a total 218,100 employment tribunal claims in 2010-11, only 277 were due to employers not meeting

flexible labor regulations

and most of these complaints (229) was successfully negotiated a settlement or ACAS and the 48 who actually came to court, only 10 succeeded. Mike Emmott, employee relations adviser at the CIPD, said:

These figures ... prove beyond doubt that the fears expressed about the impact of extending the right to request flexible working are greatly exaggerated. The right to petition is not a burden for businesses, but an example of regulatory "light" is more likely to support - rather than inhibit -. Business performance

The reality is that companies of all sizes well ahead of criticism of how they reacted to the legislation. An extension of the law is unlikely to lead to a flood of applications because most employers already recognize that flexible working is an integral part of the modern workplace and are therefore prepared to consider requests from employees, beyond the legal minimum. Flexibility at work is not only for parents:

the aging workforce

the UK means that older workers have more care and want more flexible routes to retirement and reduced hours or job sharing, while flexibility is also essential to help sick people with health problems are at different stages and becomes difficult to work.
