Could you possibly confirm whether these are a) actual job losses i.e postholders have been dismissed b) job reductions (managing vacant posts) or c) proposals by Trusts about the possible impact on the workforce.

I think the distinction is very important because either a postholder has lost their job or they haven't. So, really, how many people have actually been made redundant? It's not a trick question, I just don't know the answer.

No idea about the balance between office and frontline. My source for these is originally the media with work being done in the Lib Dems.

So... John, you are admitting that these 'job cuts' may not be redundancies. They may be efficiencies, such as those proposed by the government to transfer resources from backline to frontline jobs, they may simply be the decision not to fill posts which have been held vacant for some time, they may be media scare stories which you are tamely trotting out, or they may be from reports written by Trusts to the SHA about a 'potential' impact of PCT budget reductions.

All very different to your bold assertion of up to date job cuts, I'm afraid. Typically Lib Dem though.

I suppose Nigel Crisp was actually not a job cut, but in fact a job expansion.

Otherwise they are from the Media all I have done is to take part in a collation process.

Perhaps you could usefully 'collate from the media' all of the stories from the Birminham Post and Evening Mail about the fiasco the ruling coalition are making in running Birmingham... because obviously if it is in the media, it must be true.

Why are babies born young?

Why are babies born young? This sounds like an odd question. People would say "of course babies are born young". However, this goes to the core of the question of human (or animal) development. Why is it that as time passes people develop initially through puberty and then for women through menopause and more generally getting diseases such as sarcopenia, osteoporosis, diabetes and cancer, but most of the time babies start showing no signs of this. Lots of research into this has happened over the years and now I think it is clear why this is. It raises some interesting questions. Biological youth is about how well a cell functions. Cells that are old in a biological sense don't work that well. One of the ways in which cells stop working is they fail to produce the full range of proteins. Generally the proteins that are produced from longer genes stop being produced. The reason for this relates to how the Genes work (the Genome). Because the genome is not gettin...
