I actually quite like having a government that seems to be ignoring pathetic political arguments on social media and instead seems to be just getting on with the job. #Starmer #Labour

At National Voices we talk a lot about patient admin and many people ask what we mean and why patients who don't cancel appointments shouldn't be charged, so here's a thread on my attempt to cancel an appointment. I was offered an appointment for 30 December - I am away so can't make it. so.... 1/4

On the Louise Haigh resignation, too many people have IMO jumped on the line that ‘the media wouldn’t have let it go’. I think it’s a totally legitimate story to report and we shouldn’t get mad at media for that. It’s up to the government to decide not to throw ministers under the bus in response.

READ: “Policies to help people walk & cycle such as low-traffic neighbourhoods can create public health benefits as much as 100 times greater than the cost of the schemes, a long-term study has concluded.” AND the benefits continue to grow even higher over time. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2024...

Big day in parliament. The truth that seems unreported is how kind, reasonable and thoughtful the debate has been between those who don't agree, constituents and MPs alike. Kim Leadbeater has led from the front with the kind of graft and compassion, anyone who knows her would have expected.

It is nearly impossible to get into secondary MH services these days. Even if you do, you still get the same old advice: “If you can’t keep yourself safe, dial 999 or get yourself to A&E.” People with longstanding MH conditions are literally instructed to behave in a way that creates this problem

The UK is an ageing society, where formal care is costly and the public funds to support it are badly stretched. Care costs have outstripped inflation – and incomes.

The toxic conversation around PAs / AAs is one of reasons I’m leaving the other place. So I thought this piece from the BBC was helpful - bbc.com/news/articles/… Looking forward to Prof Gillian Leng’s review being based in the evidence + also maybe looking at impact of the debate on public trust.
