Preventative measures are woefully lacking in the NHS.
Scans are slight risk factors in themselves and repeat scans every 5 to 10 years even more so, as radioactive substances are cumulative in the body.
Other diseases could be routinely checked, breast cancer being one, there is a national examination programme but if a woman is treated for a cancer found she is discharged when it has been show to have disappeared, after treatment, without annual check-ups. This may not be the case in every authority but it happens in some so is patchy at best.
Prostate cancer kills huge numbers of men but there is no national screening programme as yet.
Bowel cancer has screening programmes in place.

This is where private healthcare such as Totally may be useful in arranging the scans, it would be in their best interests to cover the country with precision, higher fees earned for numbers screened, treated and followed up regularly.
That would seem an acceptable place for private care to charge over the odds and they would be funded by the NHS assuming approval for screening programmes was on the table.
'Totally' could lobby for such measures, do what insurance companies do, go forward with a proposal to fill gaps they have spotted which would save the NHS in the long run on expensive treatments where the disease(s) had become very serious and debilitating. Also saving disability payments, for life, to those who could have been treated successfully if the illness had en spotted at an earlier stage.

Have you ever met a man of good character where women are concerned?

Excuse the straight question, doggy:
Are you a man of good character where women are concerned?

You can't say no to the beauty and the beast!

The company are confident for the buyback to be carried out as per the terms which it set out and which are being followed.
It would be splitting hairs to argue that we don't know if Tremor are happy with their terms when the price is rising.

46000 people die of lung cancer each year.
CT-scans can detect lung cancer and early stage treatment can prevent it becoming fatal.
Why are preventative measures not being implemented?
In other words who decides whether preventable cancers should be tested ?
46000 deaths is a lot of people, they would not know they had cancer until late stages
and by then it would be too late...
Could private healthcare benefit from providing tests if NHS funding were to be made available?

Not a time to sell them.
You do as you want, I am not selling

Baldy,
I did not say I don't u/s how links work.
Or that Google were paying for just a link.
The are surely paying for the snippet, with a link attracting further payment.

The bargaining is intended to give Australia’s heavily concentrated media industry more leverage as publishers seek direct payment from Google and Facebook for the right to display links to their work.
Unlike Google, Facebook’s core service doesn’t rely heavily on news articles. The company estimates that only about 4 percent of posts on the network are works of journalism, so it is perhaps less surprising that when Google blinked at Australia’s demand, Facebook walked away.
Until the Australian parliament votes on the new law bill there may be new ideas arising around whether links to articles should be charged or whether this contravenes the purpose of the world wide web.

From a layman's point of view I would comment that it should be perfectly simple for journalistic pieces of news to be protected by subscription or adverts if a link is clicked which results in a 'gated' entrance fee or by being subjected to adverts then that should solve the problem.
Surely this happens already and therefore I don't really understand the situation.

Facebook started restricting users from viewing or sharing Australian news on Wednesday, because of a proposed law in the country that would require the social network to pay news publishers for content.
Google chose to accommodate (at least pay lip-service to) the Australian governments democratic changes.
Facebook thought (thinks) otherwise.
Is democracy being threatened?

Shrinking violets!

The format seems the same but perfectly ordinary posts are removed or much delayed.

What happened - must have missed it!

'You a clearly a disturb person with no moral but hateful agenda '

language!

With News Corp owning part of Tremor (6.91%) and Unruly providing the lead for video solutions for the News Corp group, there is plenty of scope for access across the board.

As I understand it, Google typically shows snippets of news (from journalism compiled at publisher's expense) that readers use instead of looking at the main stories. Google therefore historically avoided paying the publishers who typically use adverts/subscriptions to earn revenue, much to the chagrin of the publishers.
Now Google have agreed to pay publishers monthly fees as well as provide links to their articles, which will of course hold ads etcetera.
The unknown element is whether there will be increased traffic to the publishers sites, although monthly fees are more certain, but depending on terms and conditions which some find unpalatable.

Google has agreed to make "significant payments" to Rupert Murdoch's News Corp for content.
News Corp struck a global news deal with Alphabet’s Google, the Rupert Murdoch-controlled media company, in one of the most extensive deals of its kind with big tech.
This will see Google feature news from the media giant as part of the Google News Showcase.

AppsFlyer

Outbrain
Taboola

And, of course Perion and Tremor.

The NHS attracts parasites seeking to fill their pockets.
Even with free money they don't know how to manage it.

Good find Radium,
More proof that Tremor know how to take the business forward.
