As some of you already know Rose is no longer working with us at the Angarrack Inn and so Billy , Kenny , Jubbly, Sarah and Kensa will be looking after you for the present . Billy specially is looking forward to seeing friends old and new over the coming weeks . Some of our beers are just £2 this weekend !

A recent report by comparing health systems concluded we have the best NHS in the world.  Its central value is that it is free at the point of need and it is the dedicated staff that makes it such a great institution. We have increased NHS spending by over £12 billion since 2010 and will increase it by another £8 billion if re-elected.
While it is free at the point of need our NHS has always involved some private practices most notably GPs surgeries. Tony Blair extended the use of private providers in the NHS and Gordon Brown introduced PFI contracts which left many schools and hospitals lumbered with appalling contracts where they were routinely ripped off for basic property maintenance.
The use of private providers in the NHS encompasses only six percent of the total NHS budget, an increase of only one percent since 2010. I think the key thing is not to be dogmatic about these issues. Where private providers can help our schools and hospitals cope we shouldn't rule them out.  But the agreements need to be negotiated properly so that our NHS is not ripped off in the way it was under Gordon Brown's PFI deals.

Just over a week away until it's Disco time at the Angarrack Inn! We will be serving a special menu, so please book in advance. Still some tables available, don't miss out!

Curry night has hit Hayle! Every month on the first Thursday. Starting on May 7th we will have a selection of meat and a vegetarian dish available. Pop on down and get your spice on :)

Norovirus is continuing to do the rounds in Cornwall. Please don't visit our hospitals if you've had sickness or diarrhoea in the last 48 as it spreads the virus and affects people's ability to recover from serious illness. We've posted some advice to help anyone who's suffering with norovirus to recover.

I grew up at Trevaskis Farm near Connor Downs, studied at agricultural college and worked in the family business for over nine years.  Over the last eighteen months I have been the Minister for Farming, Fisheries and Food.  I think it makes sense in politics to bring to the table knowledge you gained in an earlier career and for me that was farming.  
I want to see a vibrant farming industry and my priorities if returned would be to shake up the Common Agricultural Policy and make it easier for new entrants to get into the industry. I also think we should have a much looser CAP with common European objectives, but where national governments legislate to deliver these objectives in their own way.  
All new industries need new talent and farming is no exception. The high cost of land is a real barrier to new entrants so I want to do more to encourage alternative routes in, such as contract farming agreements where a young farmer might manage the crops or livestock on behalf of the landowner for a fee that is linked to outcomes.
Better progress has been made improving the Common Fisheries Policy and we have now banned the shameful practice of discarding perfectly good fish back into the sea which takes effect next January.
