The simple solution is to run the nhs as if it were a private hospital i.e run it efficiently.

Increasing funding for GPs to reduce the strain on a&e. Alot of people use the a&e because they cant get a gp appointment.

Bring in a surcharge for using a&e for non emergencies say a £50. A&Es should only be used for acutal emergencies i.e broken bones, life threatening emergencies etc.

Increase healthy eating and health awareness in schools from primary school up. Uk and Ireland eating habits are horrible compared to almost every eu country.

The above would sort most of the issues

Say it quietly around the Reds on here, but if Klopp goes this season without winning the title will his tenure be deemed as an underachievement?

After all they have been the best team in the world since he took over 

Granted they ran into a City team in their prime, but one Covid EPL title seems to be underwhelming.

Unpopular opinion I'm guessing.

One of Liverpool's greatest managers, end of story.

Without him, City would be heading for seven in a row. No one else has even run Pep close, never mind taken him to the final day. Plus, three CL final appearances, one won.

Underwhelming me arse.

Leicester not win won during pep's time?

Pep joined City year after.. Conte (Pep's 1st Season) and Klopp only managers to beat City to the title

I honestly think he's one of Liverpool's best ever managers. he was just unfortunate with that city team and quite frankly when you look at the resource difference I think anyone competing with them is a massive thing.

How about asking why are we all so sick?

Sounds a bit Joe Rogan tbh.

You are looking at the wrong problem here. It's not why are we all so sick.

It's why has whatever resourcing is going into it not being used well enough. Why has bureaucracy been allowed to cripple it. Why when you can't even staff important roles fully and people are leaving can you not even give a decent payrise given you don't even have a full quota of employees. I would bet a lot of the roles are middle management etc and the roles for people who do the real work are not being filled.

As the father of a disabled child with complex needs I regularly see more NHS departments than I'd wish on anyone.

A&E is usually full to capacity but in the many outpatients appointments I attend in Dungannon, Lurgan, Downpatrick, Armagh and many more, they are usually overstaffed and feel like a ghost town rather than the warzones the Unions want you to believe. I have never seen as much wastage, not least the upkeep of these buildings, and form filling in my life and it wouldn't be tolerated in the private sector. I have no doubt there are many areas of understaffing but I can assure you there are many areas of overstaffing with all staff following archaic systems. I truly believe the NHS can't be repaired so at least partial privatisation is inevitable.

Does anyone play ?

I still have a wildcard to play , the  triple captain and  bench boost.

Could I use two or all of these   in the same gameweek?

It doesn't say anywhere in the rules about something.  like this

You can only use one per gameweek.
There is a double gameweek upcoming , so maybe use your TC there.
Another double gameweek in week 37. So if you wildcard for gameweek 36 , and bench boost in 37 , you could have 30 players for 37.
