"Lord Hutton writes of the NHS health centres that have been built thanks to private finance (Letters, 23 November). In Didcot we've been waiting more than 10 years for the Great Western Park health centre. The return on investment required by the developer is greater than the NHS will reimburse. The local integrated care board fears that at that cost they'll not get a GP practice to take on the health centre. Cllr Sarah James Vale of White Horse district council"
"Congratulations on the print-edition headline Lights, Canberra, no action, about England's beaten cricketers not playing in the Australian capital (24 November). It reminded me of my all-time favourite in the Guardian when Zaheer Abbas began the county cricket season in 1981 by scoring 1,000 runs in one month: Happy days Zaheer again. Genius. Mark Garrod Potters Bar, Hertfordshire Ed Miliband seems proud that the UK produces just 1% of emissions (Opinion, 23 November)."
"Why? The UK's population is 0.85%, ie less than 1% of the world's population, so in the UK we are emitting more than the global average per person. Ulla Wiberg York Oh dear, Quick Crossword setter (18 November). Former soldiers? Answer: Ex-servicemen. Retired professor's title? Answer: Emeritus. There are also female ex-soldiers and ex-professors! Carol Taylor Darley Dale, Derbyshire"
The Great Western Park health centre in Didcot has been delayed for more than ten years because the developer's required return on investment exceeds what the NHS will reimburse, leaving the integrated care board concerned it may not secure a GP practice for the facility. A print headline celebrated England's cricketers and recalled Zaheer Abbas's 1981 achievement of 1,000 county runs in a month. A critique notes that the UK's 0.85% share of world population combined with roughly 1% of emissions implies above-average per-person emissions.
