Disability Action would like to thank @joanne_sansome for travelling to London to give evidence to the UK Covid Inquiry Module 6 The Care Sector.
Joanne provided a powerful testimony. Thanks also to the team at @BhattMurphy
Lessons must be learned from Covid! Disabled people can never again be left forgotten and isolated.
This is good 💯
Pope Francis wrote this in the Hospital.
“The walls of hospitals have heard more honest prayers than churches...
They have witnessed far more sincere kisses than those in airports...
It is in hospitals that you see a homophobe being saved by a gay doctor.
A privileged doctor saving the life of a beggar...
In intensive care, you see a Jew taking care of a racist...
A police officer and a prisoner in the same room receiving the same care...
A wealthy patient waiting for a liver transplant, ready to receive the organ from a poor donor...
It is in these moments, when the hospital touches the wounds of people, that different worlds intersect according to a divine design. And in this communion of destinies, we realize that alone, we are nothing.
The absolute truth of people, most of the time, only reveals itself in moments of pain or in the real threat of an irreversible loss.
A hospital is a place where human beings remove their masks and show themselves as they truly are, in their purest essence.
This life will pass quickly, so do not waste it fighting with people.
Do not criticize your body too much.
Do not complain excessively.
Do not lose sleep over bills.
Make sure to hug your loved ones.
Do not worry too much about keeping the house spotless.
Material goods must be earned by each person—do not dedicate yourself to accumulating an inheritance.
You are waiting for too much: Christmas, Friday, next year, when you have money, when love arrives, when everything is perfect...
Listen, perfection does not exist.
A human being cannot attain it because we are simply not made to be fulfilled here.
Here, we are given an opportunity to learn.
So, make the most of this trial of life—and do it now.
Respect yourself, respect others. Walk your own path, and let go of the path others have chosen for you.
Respect: do not comment, do not judge, do not interfere.
Love more, forgive more, embrace more, live more intensely!
And leave the rest in the hands of the Creator.”
—Pope Francis
BBC Sounds is soon to be blocked overseas, what about over a land border? Blocking it in Ireland is against the spirit of the Good Friday Agreement and specifically a 2010 memorandum of understanding. Have BBC thought this through? More with me @BBCR4Feedback@BBCRadio4 3.30pm

Well deserved for your services to our community.
Two absolute legends of my @UlsterUni Sports Studies class. Two very special men taken far too young and two men I have been honoured to call my friends. Jody Gormley and Frank Wilson. Rest in peace lads. I’ll see you on the other side. 💔

"In memory of Sharon McBride who would have celebrated her 60th birthday today if her young life had not been taken from her in the most callous and evil way on the 23rd October 1993." 1/2
My goodness she is good.
I try to only post on medial matters, but found it surprisingly hard to formulate my thoughts on this. @ClaireHanna has articulated them perfectly
Great news to see @RobinSwann_MLA back in the driving seat @healthdpt He rightly deserves credit for his role in tackling #Covid_19 but he does not get nearly enough credit for his role is laying the foundations for #transformation even during a pandemic. Best of luck Minister!
