Freightening statistics from this new report from @CarersUK. One in ten carers in deep poverty, saddening when consider how dependent we are on their upaid and unseen contributions, especially in #palliativecare

Brilliant to launch the #WomanoftheNorth report in Parliament yesterday.

This powerful report highlights the unequal challenges around pay, education and poverty faced by women in our region and the need for stronger support from central and regional Governments💪

At the end of your life, you should feel comfortable, cared-for and supported.

But right now, many people miss out 🚫

We want to change that, with help from MPs.

Thanks @PDJSwallow for coming to our stand at #LabourConference24 💛

Demand for palliative and end of life care is rising, as our population ages 📈

It's so important that we can meet that growing need, and deliver the best possible support to everybody.

Thank you for visiting us to hear more, @peterkyle 💛

Thank you @drkathrynmannix ! I wish I’d mentioned that we do talk about dying too, nicely, ie kindly honestly and with respect (as you have taught so many to do). But not always, and we can get better at it ..

New: Britain’s Child Health Crisis

From tooth decay to obesity, young children’s health across the UK is in decline.

For BBC Panorama, I’ve gone back to Sheffield to find out what’s causing the crisis and what can be done to fix it.

£770m. That’s the economic benefit international students contributed to the city of Sheffield in the 2021-2 academic year.

We’re calling on the government to recognise the economic, social and cultural value of international students and remove them from net migration figures.
