Tameside Council's "Boob Jobs on the Rates"

The Leader of the Tameside Council Conservatives has moved quickly to condemn a scheme put forward by Tameside Council, which could allow employees to have time off for cosmetic surgery. The scheme, entitled 'Absence from Work for Life Choice Procedures', aims to "help the Council demonstrate that it is continuing to maintain a 'people-centric' approach." It was produced after "managers requested guidance on how to manage, yet support employees at what can be a difficult time." While the scheme refers to practical medical procedures, such as laser eye surgery, it also contains guidelines to support employees when having time off for cosmetic surgery, such a "breast augmentation orreduction, nose reduction, liposuction and cosmetic facial treatments." Councillor John Bell, the Tameside Conservative Leader, says: "While I appreciate that some council employees would need to take time off for procedures such as laser eye treatment I am completely opposed to the idea of 'boob jobs' on the rates. Such practices are unheard of in the private sector, and there should already be rules in place to deal with such matters."I find it appalling that public time and money has been wasted on this matter at a time when the banks are teetering on the edge of collapse, businesses are going into liquidation and taxpayers are struggling financially with the effects of a recession." "Once again, it a typical example of a politically correct Labour non-policy that hard-working taxpayers will be expected to fund." http://conservativehome.blogs.com/

Errrr..but isn't Tameside policy to force the sick back to work with Cllr John "Colonel Saito" Taylor as "Sickness enforcer"?

see:- http://tamesidecitizen.blogspot.com/2008/07/james-purnell-to-start-privatisation-of.html

or even... http://www.tamesideadvertiser.co.uk/news/s/530566_staff_dismissed_for_breast_cancer_claims_union

perhaps it depends on who you are whether you get time off or sent off?

PS Notice that James Purnell supports ".working for your dole"

There is no recession in Labour's massively inflated public sector. They've 'created' 940,000 new 'jobs' for state employees in the last eleven and a half years, the vast majority of which are utterly useless and unnecessary. It's the taxpayers job to pay for this insanity. Keep voting Labour if you haven't had enough kicks in the teeth.

Did you see all those 'British' citizens demonstrating in what used to be London about the trouble in the Middle East? A lot of them have passports that SAY British, the truth is their loyalty lies elsewhere and with something else. Unless we act now in a few years we'll be outnumbered thanks to the lunatics in this government and their supporters.

We know this has come from Richard Ashton and all we have to say is "those in glass houses should not throw stones". When was the last time you turned up for work Richard? It is OK to criticise those who take leave for this reason, but not turn up for work at all and claim to work from home!

These absences will be obviously monitored, we recognise this as a form of sick leave where reconstructive surgery maybe required for those who face emotional or psychological issues.

Oh dear Richard, it seems that this story hasn't caught wind as you hoped. So far you got it on ConHome and now the Star - a paper about tits. Did you call upon your friend, Terry Duckworth for this?
