Reducing child poverty would decrease infant mortality, number of children looked after, malnutrition and emergency hospital admissions - particularly benefiting the North of England @_HENorth

Last week, @TheLancet Commission on #Dementia released an update to its 2020 report, now estimating that 45% of dementia cases are linked to modifiable risk factors — up from 40%.

Prof @kaarin_anstey, Senior Principal Research Scientist at NeuRA and Director of @AgeingFutures, discussed the implication of this finding last night with @abcnews’ @JoeDoesNews. She highlighted the significance of The Lancet report for our general population and shared practical steps we can take to reduce our dementia risk.

Whatever the conclusion, the math seems to be correct.

'Our universities are vital engines for economic growth and opportunity for everybody throughout their lives.'

We look forward to working with @Jacqui_Smith1 to harness the potential of our university sector for growth and opportunity.

This Labour government will treat universities as engines of growth and opportunity, not political battlegrounds.

Pleased to set that out at @KingsCollegeLon today.
