I've seen a documentary on that subject a few years ago. The initiators want to make the health system pay for it when it's proven to allay any psychical or physical symptoms. Very controversial

Monday 28 January 2013
A documentary investigation into one of the firms responsible for delivering the Government's £5bn Work Programme claims to have found evidence of staff using an 'offensive' code to describe disabled and jobless people.
Clients of Triage, a key player in the Government's plan to pay private companies to move people from benefit into work, were referred to as 'LTB' - code for "lying, thieving bastards", a former employee alleges.
Linda Smith, who worked for Triage, which operates in Scotland and the north of England, told the BBC that the term was used to describe jobless and disabled clients, and that the company used a practice known as 'parking' to keep disabled people on their books.
Mrs Smith said that under the scheme firms can earn more money from taking on the disabled people as clients, but that once they are on the company's books staff are told to spend as little time as possible helping them find work.
"They would be put on telephone interviews... just to make sure that there was this contact made so they could tick a box to say, 'Yeah, they're still on the Work Programme'," Mrs Smith said.
The BBC claims that four other former Triage employees confirmed the use of the LTB code and told the BBC similar stories about clients on their books being 'parked'.
Tony Wilson, 34, from Middlesbrough was referred to the Work Programme through Triage in February 2012, told the BBC he believes he has been 'parked': "They haven't done a single thing to help me in any way," he said.
He also condemned the use of the LTB label allegedly given to those on long-term benefits: "That's offensive. It's unprofessional. It's - so many words I could say about that. It's just wrong."

My Christmas tree this year wasn't as decorated as that guy on the pic.

Powers that be on Coronation Street, what are they like, poised to set the Rovers Return on fire. Another drinking establishement will have to be built on the site. Its going to be a mega storyline but a bit drastic in my view.

:O

Hopefully some of the annoying characters will get killed off in the fire.

Especially that Cilla clone who is with Kirk
