NHS is squandering money again by paying the obese to lose weight!

When the NHS was set up all those years ago, I wonder if the person who did all the hard work realised that 60 years on the service that was designed to help everyone would be wasting it’s money on things that people could sort out themselves, and not spending their budget on actually helping sick people??

Today it was annouced that people who are overweight and obese will be paid to lose weight by the NHS!!!

Participants could win £70 if they lose 15lb, a further £90 for losing 30lb and another £265 to shed 50lbs  -  a total of £425.

Weights are checked once a month by a nurse in a GP surgery or an assistant at a pharmacist.

There is no time limit but patients will get only half the money for losing the weight. The rest is handed over if they keep it off for six months.

This is just outrageous!  People are being denied cancer drugs, alzheimer drugs and more because the NHS won’t give it to them, yet fat people who are perfectly capable of getting themselves thin get PAID!
