The minister for primary care and public health, Neil O’Brien, recently announced a curious policy to make the country ‘smoke free’ by 2030. The answer to the age old problem is, apparently, to give away one million vapes and offer pregnant women £400 to quit the habit.Firstly, the free vapes: Now I see myself as something of a connoisseur.
The 'logic’ therefore is that by paying a sum of money as a carrot to quit the habit, the NHS will, in the long run, save money, seems noble at face value, but again the devil is in the detail of which, you guessed it, they have provided none. A couple of years ago after a nasty downhill mountain bike crash, I attended Merthyr Tydfil A and E. The estimated cost to the NHS of that single trip was £419. On top of that I have had numerous bouts of what could loosely be termed as physiotherapy, trips to the doctor and a visit to the specialist who surmised the hip swelling, three years on, was untreatable. In total, using the £419 figure a visit as a loose gauge, I reckon this one injury alone has cost around £4,500.
