A couple of public health / prevention spending stories from the weekend.

One potentially helpful for population health, the other, less so.

Short 🧵

[Adrienne Lee @Adrienne_LHY]

Absolutely delighted to have been shortlisted for the #Qexchange Grant. Let's work towards reducing inequitable delays for patients with learning disabilities! @UHP_NHS

@campbellclaret Not just a slogan! See hospital at home randomised controlled trial for excellent evidence of non-inferiority to hospital care. Used v effectively by @GSTTGeriatrics during pandemic to treat older people at home with family rather than on isolated wards. https://t.co/gIxT1kIN00

[Sir Michael Marmot @MichaelMarmot]

Lower taxes? Really? What do you want to achieve? Greater child poverty? Even bigger reductions in spending on education? More regressive cuts to local government? Further immiseration of public sector workers? Worse life for people on welfare?

Unpaid carers like Sharon save the economy £132 billion each year. Adult social care is in desperate need of more funding, and unpaid carers need more support. How on earth are tax cuts going to fix this? #C4LeaderDebate

Delighted our paper describing the work of the @GSTTnhs H@H team through the pandemic has been published! Team gave patients with covid the option of hospital level care at home, including Mx with dex, oxygen and IV fluids #integratedcare @FutureHealthJ https://t.co/Mh1QSLRosn

The Omnicron variant is just another example of how COVID will be prolonged if rich nations and Big Pharma keep blocking vaccine distribution.

[Rob Hughes @R_Hughes1]

Public health needs a post-covid evidence based decision making revolution.

Especially when it comes to kids.

@KavKula @Medact @KavKula draws on @Tammamo reflection at the People’s Health Hearing held parallel to COP26 last week.

"Health should be a tool for emancipation, of removing the shackles, not of greater control."

@KavKula @TWT_NOW @KavKula I need to hear all about this, fantastic stuff!

[RoyalCollegeObsGyn @RCObsGyn]

We are incredibly pleased to see the @DHSCgovuk decision on the fortification of flour with folic acid in order to help prevent life-threatening spinal conditions in babies. This is something we called for in our Better for Women report in 2019.
