NHS is spending more than £440 million in a year on painkillers, according to new analysis it is the biggest bill in the north. England data shows, health trust spends £8.80 an average per head on the population on drugs treating pain, with some doctors even giving patients Lemsip and Anadin on their prescription.
Data analysis firm SSentif examined the year for 2010/11 from the NHS and head of population’s data from Office for National Statistics.
Researchers found that the overall NHS has spent on painkillers in the year 2010/11 was over £442 million. On northern cities and towns, the cost per head was as high as £15, dropping in some parts of the south to just £3.26 per head. According to analysis, the highest spend was in Middlesbrough, Rochdale, Blackpool and Hartlepool, with prescriptions of painkillers billed on primary care trust averages to £2.3m each.
The figures doubled more than the prescription in Twickenham and Richmond, Camdem and Westminster primary care trust (PCT’s), in despite of lower populations. The analysis also showed that PCT spents thousands prescribing over-the-counter painkillers and branded flu and cold medicines such as Beechams, Anadin, Lemsip and Panadol. PCt’s spent just over £3,000 between January and June on Prescriptions for flu and cold remedies and more than £59,000 on prescribing over-the-counter painkillers.
The research also looked at any links between prescribing painkillers, older age and deprivation (over 65 yrs). Found strong correlations in between prescribing painkillers and age in south but didn’t find no link with deprivation.

There’s no doubt that all the parents worried about their children. They also expect others to look after them as for their own kids. But how will you find yourself in situation where you, a parent, are questioned by staff members about taking a photo of your own kid in the shopping centre?
It happened to Chris White at the busy Braehead shopping centre, near Glasgow. He was approached by the security guard who claims that taking photos is “illegal”. Photos not somebody else but his own daughter, Hazel, eating an ice cream. You thing: is it overprotection or just act of stupidity?
Mr White claimed that, when he was interviewed by police, an officer warned him that anti-terrorism powers meant his camera phone could be confiscated.
A spokesperson for Breahead said it wanted to “maintain a safe and enjoyable environment for shoppers”.
In response Mr White set up a Facebook page called “Boycott Braehead” which, by Tuesday morning, had been “liked” by more than 21,000 people.
Same day we have quick respond: the Braehead shopping centre owner changes UK photographs policy: customers will be able to take photographs at several UK shopping centres. Capital Shopping Centres said the new rules would apply immediately to its 11 UK shopping centres.
If you’ve ever wondered how safe you and your family could be in big shopping centres, the truth is not easy to guess. Shall we feel overwhelmed or scared? Will you try your luck to find out?

One question everyone wants the answer to know is: Boy or girl? There are not one not two old wives’ tales which you have heard about predicting the sex of your baby. We could multiply them for you but where is a point? As most of parents to be you have already check on them.
As new finding of University of Oxford and U.S. researches women who are stress while trying for a baby are more likely to have a baby girl. Will that mean that the economic downturn could see more women give birth to daughters? So, if you are trying for baby boy- stay calm, relaxed and be positive.
For instance, nutrition or simple biology may also play a part. Past research has shown that dominant women are more likely to have sons – perhaps because their higher levels of testosterone ‘prime’ their eggs to make fertilisation with male sperm more likely.
But remember: the only really effective ways of finding out the sex of your baby during pregnancy are ultrasound scanning, amniocentesis or chorionic villus sampling (CVS). Although most women have an ultrasound scan at some stage in their pregnancies now, amniocentesis and CVS will only be offered if there is a medical need.For instance, nutrition or simple biology may also play a part.

Whatever the gender: you are going to love your child!

Reading To Your Child Is Always In Season
Boost Your Mental Health This Autumn
Reading is one of the most important parts of the childhood. As a parent, you are your child’s first and most important teacher. When you help your child learn to read, you are opening the door to a world of books and learning.
Reading aloud to children is the best way to get them interested in reading. Before long they will grow to love stories and books. Eventually they will want to read on their own.
You may start wondering which books are the best for your child. It all depends on their age and the way booksellers tend to arrange their children’s departments, but they are not set in stone. Children develop at different rates and learn to read at different rates. A book we recommend for a three-year-old may equally be enjoyed by some eight-year-olds. Build your own home child’s library and let it grow bigger and better.
With time and help of parents, children can learn how to read and can practise reading until they can read for their own enjoyment. Then they will have a whole world of information and knowledge at their fingertips!
As one of the old proverbs says: What youth is use to, age remembers. Read as often as possible. It paves the way to success in school, which can build self-confidence and motivate your child to set high expectations for life.

Michael Jackson’s doctor, Dr. Conrad Murray was convicted Monday of manslaughter after a trial that painted him as a reckless caregiver administered a lethal dose of a powerful anesthetic that killed the pop star.
Dr. Murray sat stone faced during the trial and was handcuffed and taken into custody without bail until sentencing on 29 November. He appeared calm as officials removed him from the room. A cry broke the eerie silence in the packed courtroom when the verdict was read, and the crowd erupted outside the courtroom. Jubilant supporters cheered and sang Jackson’s “Beat It” and carrying signs reading: “guilty” and “murderer.” Passing motorists sounded their horns. There was no law against the administration of propofol or other sedatives. But expert witnesses said Murray was performing well below the standard of care required of a physician. They said the use of propofol in a home without rescue equipment on hand was a gross deviation from the norm. They called gross negligence, the legal basis for a charge of manslaughter.
