We need cure for inequality

This is something which was set up to provide health care for people regardless of their personal circumstances.

But rehabilitation services for heart attack patients in South Yorkshire seem to be provided on a less inclusive basis. And that is not only annoying for those who miss out on being shown how to make the most of their recovery, but also dangerous with figures showing that a quarter of patients who undergo rehabilitation can look forward to living for at least another five years.

The NHS should be there for what is needed by patients - when they need it. And the sooner this kind of inequality

Develop roads to deal with jams

SHEFFIELD'S two Green councillors have found themselves in a tiny minority after suggesting that the inner ring road around the St Mary's Road area should not be widened. And it is not only in the council chamber where their voices are out of line.

The wider public will also question the suggestion that widening the roads will actually encourage more traffic. What the councillors ignore is that the proposals are actually about alleviating a problem which is with us now.

Sheffield's creaking roads network, which has been repeatedly interfered with by closures, narrowing policies and confusing one-way systems, needs to be adapted to cope with today's situation, not held back even more.

The Filey fibbers

WHAT do you feel when someone talks about their holidays? Is it envy? Or admiration? Or do you have a sneaky feeling that the brown tan comes with a white lie or two? The latter is more likely to be the case, it seems, for a survey shows that many holidaymakers fib about their overseas trips. Strange, isn't it, that this only comes with foreign travel. Nobody boasts about a trip to Filey!
