How can someone in healthcare planning who uses the data lie about it, you stupid prick? I don't make decisions on things I am not qualified in. Professionals do and I give them the freedom to do so , that's it. Considering the use of the data informs service provision I'd soon look the fool you seem to be if I didn't understand what I have to do.

You wished to dogmatically use data falsely to support the bigoted lies nasty shits such as Akenhsteon use to demonise gay people. In doing so, you seem to think that the data The NHS releases to HPA is then used exclusively to plan health provision. It isn't how these things work.

Public health epidemiology is rather complicated which is why I see so much money spent on interpreting many sources of data.

Stop saying the national collator and advisor of particular sections of health data (about 20% of what is collected for commissioning purposes) is the bible for commissioning. If it is, I for one will be able to propose making 268 people redundant in one region alone.

You have been caught out telling lies to support homophobia. If you have an issue with that, take it out on the worm whose views you appear to support.

Jack. Nobody is trying to give an opinion on how health care planning is done in England. I am merely correcting false assumptions by people with political agendas in my other role as an advisor to NHS England on certain matters and ex Chair of the then Dept of Health body responsible for developing commissioning and planning of services.

Granted, using my real name. It's because of slanderous bigots that I keep such things separate. Sadly, I occasionally pop up in the media and gave already had my words quoted at me to call me a liar. You cannot begin to realise how much enjoyment I get out of that. In reality, I have to smile and indulge political agendas so it is nice to say what I think from time to time.

Keith A Hole of Hertford and the worm like to discuss sexual health. My pet subject too but from a perspective of reality and indeed responsibility. I am not however responsible for using historical data to demonise sections of society in a country where rights of all are enshrined in law.

Ian is my name by the way. I don't have a false name , more of an aka for professional purposes. A bit like my wife being Miss and then her maiden name , as most surgical consultants over here tend to.

But I don't wish to be stalked on reality by weirdos and mental health sufferers, so best that Keith doesn't make links. He too has more than one persona by the way. The one that said on Mudcat that he supports a right wing political party and the back pedalling fool who doesn't like it when his views are compared to his politics.
