Nothing fancy to say but living and working with a long-term condition

[Audit Scotland @AuditScotland]

Have just watched this powerful documentary. It is absolutely clear that there would have been no justice for these children had it not been for the strength and emotional intelligence of the seven Paediatricians who were threatened by a toxic management. They make us all proud.

📉The @GCHSCP says it recognises the benefits CLWs bring but some GPs will see reduction to a part-time worker in April.

"CLWs are an essential lifeline for people in some of the most deprived areas, helping people to access services that improve their health and wellbeing. To cut this essential service now, will only further widen health inequalities, and we decision makers to reverse these cuts"
