Doctors are legally obliged to report bullet injuries to the police, aren't they? Doctors are also overworked and lack resources.

I was overworked and lacked resources in my last employment but I couldn't use that excuse not to obey whatever additional duties imposed on me.

Sorry, Maggy, it's not that I don't sympathise, but teachers are not the only employees who are overstretched. This is the case in many occupations, particularly in the public services.

I'm just glad I am now retired!

Yet another way to pass the blame whilst MP's relax in their villas abroad oblivious to the way the world really works.
It's time to completely scrap this whole government.
Labour would only add to the bureaucracy, so that isn't a solution.
