Health and safety checks for all families, says Nice
Inspections should be carried out on every household to make sure families are keeping children safe, according to government guidance.
That is the headline to this article
An extract;
All parents should allow health inspectors into their homes to check that windows, doors, cupboards and stairs do not pose a danger to children, it was claimed.
The National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence said that every family with sons and daughters under the age of five should agree to a home safety assessment.
Is this what these people do all day, think how to enrage the people of this country and waste our money as well?
At least this is just a recommendation, for now.
The country does need to save money and I think this is one quango that we could do without, or at least trim it down severely.

Quangos
What are quangos and why do we need so many?
In my opinion a quango is just a talking shop that the government uses to make their policy for the day.
Here is a quote, from this article in the Mail today.
Definitions of what a Quango is vary a bit. But using a rather tight definition the Economic Research Council estimates a total spending of £88.9 billion for 1997/98 and £174.7 billion for 2005/06, the latest figures available. The Taxpayers Alliance estimate that UK quangos now employ an army of almost 700,000 bureaucrats.
Now I am in total shock at the amount of money that has been spent on these quangos. How on earth can the government justify the amount of money being spent.
£86,000,000,000 (£86 BILLION) and that's only up until 2005/06.
How much more has been spent in the last 4 years?
£86 BILLION extra spent on quangos, that's about half of the UK debt.
What else could the £86 BILLION of tax payers money been spent on?
More hospitals, more nurses, more equipment for our troops, there are a million and one things that the money could of been better spent on.
700,000 employed by these quangos. Is this how the government has been keeping the jobless figures down all these years?
Are the quangos good value for money?
Do the quangos offer the country good value for money?
Who ever wins the next general election, must cut the amount of money spent on the quangos.
