UK GP working in Kensington Liverpool
I am privileged to be a GP member of the board of Liverpool CCG.
Whilst supporting the CCG, my role is to bring Challenge
Government has bought hundreds of millions of tests at a cost to us of billions of pounds. It’s desperately trying to find a use for them hence all this mass testing. Asking parents to test children twice a week when the intervention is unevaluated is unethical and wrong.
Wish we could refocus on all the covert privatisation of health services across England taking place under cover of covid. 10 billion pounds of contracts awarded to 67 private providers and US take over of our GP surgeries. CCG mergers ICS reduce little public accountabilit
🦠Agree totally with @BWDDPH , everybody needs to get vaccinated, but we absolutely need to take a Proportionate Universalism approach to ensure the people who need it most get access first! #LetsGetVaccinated#Covid19@lpoolcouncil @liverpoolccg
#COVID19 vaccines protect us, our families and our communities in #Liverpool - but if you aren’t sure and perhaps English isn’t your first language - Join @Fiza_Salam, community leaders and colleagues from @LivHospitals and @Mersey_Care for this open conversation on vaccination
Over 100k deaths. Boris Johnson repeats "We truly did everything we could....to minimise the loss of life and minimise suffering." No admissions of late decisions or mistakes.
NHS Eng modelling suggests peak in covid demand in Liverpool will come nxt week
But caveat is community transmission in Liverpool/ Knowsley still among highest in the country
& still a possibility of further increases in demand.
Report from @DrTristanCope at @LivHospitals
Simon Stevens tells @Jeremy_Hunt that costs of sustainable social care look modest compared with extra pandemic costs like test and trace @CommonsHealth
BREAKING: Latest data from ONS shows that between March and December carers were more than *three times* more likely to die of COVID-19 than the general working age population.
Paid minimum wage for maximum risk - the data once again questions the way we value this vital work.
