Britain's health & safety continues to go crazy. A builder who broke his ankle in three places has been refused surgery until he quits smoking.

John Nuttall, 57, snapped the joint whilst at work in 2005 and has had to have two morphine injections daily to control the pain.

John, a smoker for 40 years says that he's paid his National Insurance for 40 years, along the additional cigarette taxes, but the NHS are shutting him out until he quits.

This follows a ruling by the then Health Secretary, Patricia Hewitt, in June, giving doctors the right to refuse surgery unless smokers give up for at least 4 weeks.

Proposed New NHS Guidelines

The Government hasn't thought of these - yet. How's this for a few more "Useful", life enhancing, strategies:

Drug Overdosers: should not be treated until free of drugs for 4 weeks minimun

Alcoholics: should not be treated until free of alcohol for four weeks

Traffic Accidents: Should not be treated until proven that they have driven any vehicle for 4 weks

DIY Accidents: Also deemed to be the fault of the casualty - therefore won't be treated.

Old age complaints: Also the patients own fault - should not be treated.

BUT:

All patients found to be working for the Health and Safety departments, in any capacity, will be immediately admmitted under the Mental Health Regulations.
