The DVLA has published a comprehensive list of medical conditions that drivers must report to avoid fines. Failure to disclose a condition that affects driving can result in penalties of up to £1,000. The article discusses the importance of reporting these conditions, the impact of non-disclosure, and the increasing number of driving license revocations due to medical reasons.
Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has been hiding serious medical conditions, including a dead parasite in his brain, atrial fibrillation, and mercury poisoning. Kennedy has failed to disclose these conditions to the public, raising concerns about his fitness for office. The Kennedy campaign has refused to release his medical records, and Kennedy’s spokeswoman has dismissed concerns about his health as “hilarious.” However, standards for candidate disclosure have changed, and more candor is expected from candidates. The question remains whether this sort of subterfuge is acceptable from a major candidate.
Effective May 1st, NHS prescription charges in England will increase by 25p, bringing the cost of a single prescription to £9.90. The prescription prepayment certificate (PPC) will also see an increase, with a three-month certificate rising to £32.05 and a 12-month certificate to £114.50. PPCs are particularly beneficial for individuals requiring multiple NHS prescriptions due to the £9.90 charge for each medication. However, those living in Scotland and Wales continue to receive free prescriptions regardless of age.
