@CloudyMrs @Wen Definitely should be more localised, public services. Friend in Orkney had to travel to Central Belt for cataract op. Return plane journey and 3 nights away from home adding to stress and discomfort. Don't know how less-abled people on islands manage.

@CloudyMrs Has there been any mention of indy or a referendum by the SNP lately. If so I have missed it! #snp #indyref2

@CloudyMrs similar experience myself. If you use the system properly then you will get treated. NHS inform is quite helpful I've found.

@CloudyMrs I see @PhilipCJames never answered your question. No one ever does..

@CloudyMrs @ChrisMayLA6 The LA I worked for insisted on recruiting IT staff with Uni degrees and several yrs experience.Then proceeded to hire multi-nationals to prrovide complex OTT systems that were full of bugs and ran slowly, at an inflated cost. The IT staff fielded user complaints and raised support calls with the companies

@Wen @CloudyMrs I got a cheaper quote from a comparison site - worth doing.

@CloudyMrs yes we do but I'm don't know how we get there. 10 years ago it all seemed so clear...

@CloudyMrs We need UBI : https://commonweal.scot/ubi-now/ #ubi #universalbasicincome

@annika part of the reason is that Microsoft, Apple etc stop supplying security patches for older operating systems after a few years,so devices are more open to being hacked. E.g. is the NHS where the IT system was infected with ransomware because they hadn't upgraded #nhs #windows10 #windows11.
