Comment: Public won't accept MPs big pay rise

3:06pm Wednesday 22nd May 2013

IT’S hardly surprising that the prospect of pay increases for MPs is a sensitive subject. In these tough recessionary times with pay freezes, rising unemployment and gloomy economic forecasts, very few people are going to look kindly on our elected politicians collecting another £10,000 a year on top of their present £65,738.

Letter: A question of care for mum

1:02pm Tuesday 21st May 2013

I would like to ask Mr Hindle how my 90-year-old mother, who suffered a stroke three years ago, is bed-bound and has dementia, could look after her own health. She was recently admitted to RBH with dehydration and fortunately received the best of care from the nursing staff there.

Letter: My cure for the health service

12:59pm Tuesday 21st May 2013

Can someone please explain to Mark Hindle the reason for the existence of hospitals? (‘Take care of your own health, says Lancashire NHS boss,’ LT May 20.) Perhaps if the government did something about immigration, the NHS wouldn't be under as much strain, unemployment wouldn't be so high, and taxes would be paid to help fund the NHS, instead of billions being paid in benefits to unemployed British workers.

Review: Piccolino's, Clitheroe

5:51pm Monday 20th May 2013

THIS popular Italian restaurant, with its soft lighting, modern decor and busy, semi-open kitchen does not just offer a sophisticated dining experience; boasting an extensive cocktail list it’s a good place to start or even spend a night out too.

Comment: Make sure you have your say

2:50pm Monday 20th May 2013

THE levels of care received by patients in our hospitals is one subject which is guaranteed to provoke a debate.
