If a member of “Labour’s the many” gets a mind condition like this - then it’s always blamed upon “lack of spending on the NHS” etc.
When a trucker gets a medical condition though? - Suddenly it’s their 100% responsibility to report it to DVLA immediately upon diagnosis, so they can have their livelihood revoked without any sympathy, compensation, or fast-tracked medical care whatsoever.
…adding up to yet another reason why “no one wants to choose a career in driving” these days.
What do we have now? Narcolepsy. Alzheimers. Diabetes. Even Cancer. That’s not to mention those “conditions” that are seen as self-inflicted by many people, such as Drug and Alcohol abuse.
Perhaps it’s high time that our front-line people that have GOT to be safe to operate on the public front line - have some kind of government-enforced “health care” that keeps them well, rather than just hurries them along to the scrap heap without doing anything about said medical condition. “Free health check to night drivers” was offered a few years back. I didn’t take it up, because there was no upside. Just an excuse to take your licence and job away, should anything untoward be found wrong with one.
