BUDGET UPDATE

Winter Payment Increase

Over 60's will receive £250 instead of £200
Over 80's will receive £400 instead of £300

However, if you drive a car, smoke and like to drink, you'll need the increase!!

Stem Cells to help fix Osteoarthritis

Just added another news article which again could see significant medical advances due to research at cell level. This development could help those with osteoarthritis as well as those with fractures due to accidents, or bone loss from cancer.

This will again further fuel the argument for stem cell research, again winning more people on side who suffer, or have close family and friends who have suffered with the likes of cancer, osteoarthritis or been involved in an accident and had months of rehabilitation that could have been shortened.

Again, I sit and wonder what wonderful treatments we could have if scientists had no restrictions? But again someone would argue. At what cost?
