Seven years ago, we published the #HealthforWealth report that illustrated the stark economic and health gap between the North and South of England. Today, new analysis shows that widening gap remains, and that urgent action must be taken to reverse the huge impact of the divide

A German Basic Income trial found payments didn’t lead people to quit work. Prof Matthew Johnson told @CNN it gives workers security to take good risks, Dr Elliott Johnson added reducing conditionality boosts health & work engagement

Dr Rachel Clarke (Palliative care doctor): If we don't address the state of palliative care, some people will "choose" to end their life through assisted suicide because we as a society don't care enough to give them the care that might make life worth living. (@doctor_oxford)

[Catherine Walshe @cewalshe]

I welcome the Palliative Care Commission, with some fabulous commissioners. But where is the nursing voice? Of 21 commissioners why 10 medical doctors and only 1 person with a nursing background? #hpm #hapc #nursing @alisonleary1 @theRCN
