Waiting for a healthy return
Article Abstract:
Many UK Afro-Caribbean people are put off the idea of returning to their homeland because of fears regarding healthcare provision. Jamacia's healthcare service is not provided by the state and UK residents worry about the high cost of healthcare if they returned home. Community nurse Jacqueline Morais has set up the Homeland International Liaison and Advisory Service to help people make informed choices about leaving the UK. The Jamaican government is looking at establishing a health scheme for pensioners who make a financial contribution.

Return ticket
Article Abstract:
The UK government and the Royal College of Nursing are working in partnership to ensure nurses injured or disabled either at work or through ill health are afforded every available opportunity to return to work if they so wish. Up to 200 nursing staff face the possibility of redundancy each month because they can no longer work in their previous capacity due to an injury sustained at work. The National Health Service has a legal obligation to ensure the disability of an employee is taken into consideration when re-assigning work.
