While relaxation of the rules is welcome as a means of supporting tackling the #NHSBacklog, it needs to be accompanied by robust risk assessments at individual trust and for individual patients/cases/acuities to prevent a surge in cases. https://t.co/f34NuYQh3M

Viewing as a political decision further supported by the complete obfuscation of why the decision was taken with the fog-bound, woolly reason "wider considerations".

Frankly ridiculous decision, moreso when taken without explanation.

Huh? While there might be some difference caused by production facility certification, it isn't clear how that would necessitate such inequity for the "benefit of public health".

The outcome of not resolving the #EnergyCris now while also allowing the #UniversalCredit cut to go ahead, we increase the pressure on the NHS in the short, medium and long term, while allowing the #Pandemic space to grow, and further impacting future attainment of young people.

Poor diet also leads to a number of unhealthy outcomes, particularly when tied to early years development. There is a known impact of poor diet on educational achievement. Lower educational attainment is a key factor in health inequality and associated long-term conditions.

[Darren Cooper (he/him) @DJCooperHealth]

This will lead to many families choosing between food & heating. Both are essential for healthy living conditions, particularly through winter.

Unhealthy conditions at home will inevitably lead to an increase in avoidable illness (respiratory infections, #CovID etc).

[Darren Cooper (he/him) @DJCooperHealth]

The current #EnergyCrisis is a great exemplar of the connectedness of policy and population.

Energy costs soaring putting extra burden on low income families. Many of whom are having income cut further by the #UniversalCredit.

If early findings bear out long lasting reductions in autism diagnoses, then they should revolutionise how we support early development & families.

Reduction of burden on health services is added benefit.

Sad to hear another example of violence and abuse against NHS staff today. This is never acceptable. Wishing the victims a swift recovery.

[ScioCuris Healthcare @ScioCuris]

If the government is serious about dealing with the #MentalHealthCrisis, then resolving this issue should be priority #1.

Those needing inpatient care in any form need to be providing a safe space for recovery, not a space that worsens their condition.

Prof Deonandan was asked by a student journalist what he would say to the 20% of polled uOttawa students who complain that our campus's vaccine requirements are an "infringement on their rights of free movement." His response:

Why are we not embracing the examples of these leaders and driving cultural change through engagement, respect and recognition of 'adulthood' and the age of majority through more than just someone's chronological age?

The discussion around vaccination of 12-15 year olds is an opportunity to discuss "Gillick Competence", which recognises that a proportion of minor may be sufficiently mature to make decisions about their own care.

We live in an age where the likes of @GretaThunberg has made decisions across broad swathes of her life, supported by parents who clearly understand her goals, and in doing do has made the world take note, and been given a seat at the highest tables.

[ScioCuris Healthcare @ScioCuris]

This winter will be the real test for how #CovID prepared the #NHS is. Balancing a more normal winter (now we have returned to pre-CovID conditions with minimal restrictions) with ongoing CovID demands will show the real system capacity & capability.

Surely a tapered precept recognising youngsters should start paying now but that the burden for the next 15-20 years should fall heaviest on those going to need it in and just after that time. @Jeremy_Hunt has this one right.

#SocialCare #NICs

[Darren Cooper (he/him) @DJCooperHealth]

Social Care funding needs urgent fixing, but this approach just impacts younger taxpayers hardest & tapers toward net zero for older voters. When the younger generation are likely to have been harder hit by #CovID, this smacks of draining them dry.
