“And now Lord,……. help your servants to proclaim your message

With all boldness,

by stretching out your hand to heal and to work miracles

and marvels through the name of your holy servant Jesus”

And they were  all filled with the Holy spirit

And began to proclaim the word of God boldly.

LIVERPOOL CARE PATHWAY….Bp. Egan of Portsmouth has welcomed reports that the government will abolish cash incentives rewarding NHS Trusts for placing seriously ill or elderly patients on the Liverpool Care Pathway (LCP).

He said recently  “One of my reservations was the payment of financial incentives to hospitals to put patients on the LCP. I worry that this could easily blur motives. I am delighted therefore that the government is going to stop  these payments and thus to avoid any potential confusion”.
