UK Government’s ex-national director for heart disease says he would not want his daughter treated at Leeds General Infirmary’s child cardiac unit. Operation for the heart has been suspended when the hospital had an incomplete data for the hospital having a mortality rate that is twice the national average.

Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust has comparable rates to other centers and should have no further concerns. The heart surgery for children has been closed for 11 days after NHS England’s medical director, Sir Bruce Keogh, suspended procedures for what he called a “constellation” of reasons.

Sir Roger leaked the mortality rate – director of the National Institute of Clinical Outcomes Research, which focused the mortality figures across the NHS – the night before last month’s suspension. They were then dispatched by the response team to immediately assess the safety concerns of the suspension. NHS England said that they have received some assurances about the quality of surgery and staff that were involved in the operations. Consultant cardiologist at Leeds General Infirmary, Dr John Thomson, said Sir Roger’s assessment was not fair.

A tough immigration plan for the British Prime Minister. Mr. David Cameron has a lot of plans to toughen Britain’s immigration policy. He has promised to ban EU Nationals from claiming their benefits if they can no longer provide evidence that they are working or in the quest of looking for work.  In addition, Mr. Cameron had plans on restricting the migrants in the UK to have social housing if they weren’t able to stay in the UK for 5 years.

During the weekend the said plans were released. According to some critics the proposal would create problems between the UK Government and the European Union. The job seeker’s allowance coming from the government will only be utilized by the migrants who were seeking work. Mr. Cameron said immigration has already benefited Britain. The statement of the Prime Minister was published in the newspaper The Sun. It is well know that immigration in Britain wasn’t controlled well by the Labour government: figures show that there an estimated 2.2 Million people got in and (and some out) of the country while they were in power.

The Prime Minister wanted the migrants to come to Britain and work. He added that in the case of migrants nowadays in Britain, they come to the UK and work but only for a short time but they have full access of the benefits that the government gives out. When a migrant wants to work in Britain for a short period of time, he or she can only access the benefits after six months.

However, if you do have a cough that you have been simply living with or trying to ignore, it is a good idea to find out the possible cause. Not only may it lead to treatment of the cough so that you no longer have to put up with it, but chronic coughs can be merely a symptom of a more serious condition that requires medication.

A cough is considered to be persistent when it lasts for longer than eight weeks. Potential reasons behind the cough include:

COPD – Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease is an umbrella term for a range of lung conditions including chronic bronchitis and emphysema. Generally it affects people older than 45 and who are smokers or ex-smokers. The airways are inflamed or swollen and, in compensation, the lungs produce an excess of mucus. This in turn causes the cough, as the body tries to expel the excess fluid from the lungs.

Asthma and allergies. Again the problem with suffering from asthma is that the airways become inflamed. Asthma sufferers have bouts of coughing where they feel unable to get their breath. The coughing bouts can be accompanied by wheezing and a tight feeling in the chest. Many asthma sufferers are diagnosed as children, but it can be diagnosed at any time in life. Asthma can be set off by the cold weather, exercise or a reaction to an allergen like pet hair or pollutant like cigarette smoke.

Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is caused by a weak oesophageal sphincter allowing stomach acid to re-enter the oesophagus. A chronic cough, heartburn, chest pain and wheezing are all symptoms of GERD.

If you have a persistent cough, it may be that you have one of the conditions mentioned above. You can get advice on persistent cough from mucusmanagement.org.uk, but if you wish to investigate fully the reasons behind your cough, make sure you seek medical advice.

A deal was agreed during a late night talk between the most prominent British political parties. The said deal is all about the press regulation.

During the agreement it was reported that the people involved includes Nick Clegg, Oliver Letwin and Harriet Harman.
