Mr Dobbin, a Cambridge United fan, died after suffering brain injury after watching his team play in Southend in 2020. Mike Jones, an unsuspecting Wrexham fan who was defeated black and blue by seven supporters of his own club, motivated by the belief that he must have been a Torquay United fan when they first encountered him after a home game.

The African country has revealed that if the scheme is eventually get off the ground, it will be able to deter asylum seekers it doesn't want. This could lead to Rwanda 'cherry picking' quick option migrants from non-terrorism-affected countries, such as Albania or India, but not incrimination, if you're a security risk or have criminal records in your home country or Britain. Last night, the Rwandan government told the Mail: "We will decide whether or not to accept a transfer request for an individual based on UK data.' Any criminal record or security concerns known to the UK are among other things that could be included in this database.' Yolande Makolo (left), the government's spokesperson, said, "A criminal record does not mean we will reject the transfer request." If someone is deemed a security risk by the United Kingdom, it will influence the decision taken by Rwandan authorities. It's not an automatic rejection.'

Patients shouldn't be required to reveal embarrassing signs with GP receptionists campaigners, but medical unions have defended the position of 'care navigators'. Receptionists now outnumber GPs at English practices, with receptionists now outnumbering GPs in England, with numbers increasing in recent years. The reliance on receptionists as a triage service had gone too far, according to Dennis Reed of Silver Voices, a senior advocacy group, but they don't necessarily know what is behind a symptom's name, when a doctor would.' Patients were often left feeling that their illnesses were not being taken seriously, according to Dr. Johnston, who said that patients were not being consulted urgently. You're not positive that any assurance that's being given is legitimate,' he said. Mr Reed has also slammed receptionists for giving their patients an ultimatum to disclose their often intimate or embarrassing signs in order to obtain a consultation with a family doctor. For older people, the whole process is humiliating,' he said. His call came as NHS results reveal that only a quarter of all 143,000-plus patients attending surgeries around the country are family doctors.

Receptionists at practices have outnumbered GPs

EXCLUSIVE: According to a recent NHS survey, GPs are now a minority in their own practices, with receptionists outnumbering them by nearly 4,000. According to an analysis that lays bare the bureaucracy behind the appointment crisis, only a quarter of the 143,000-plus staff assisting in surgeries around the country are family physicians. The majority of the workforce, which includes receptionists, secretaries, and call handlers, accounts for nurses, healthcare assistants, and administrator employees. As Brits battle long phone lines trying to get in touch with their GP, campaigners said the ratio was a sign that practices are using receptionists as cheaper 'gatekeepers' with later 'police patient access to appointments.' Millions of Brits are struggling to get appointments with their family doctor, according to the report. And pre-Covid is less likely to see a GP face to face than pre-Covid. However, doctors acknowledge that dwindling GP numbers over the past decade have been a contributing factor to the crisis. The population has risen from 57 million in 2015 to 62 million in 2022 in the same period as GP numbers have decreased.
