@NIDisability @AlanStout19 @BBCNewsNI @CarolJordanTV @taramillstv @BelTel @healthdpt @mikenesbittni How is that even allowed to happen? Incredible!

I’m having a lot of referrals refused now and this didn’t use to happen. Someone thinks this is how you reduce waiting lists. Not fair on patients and a lot of extra work for GPs.

[letusgrowtogether @bodhran]

@TomblackBlack As a patient I have noticed this, getting sent from one back to other is not good enough for sick distressed patients.

A subject we all avoid. Caleb will grow old someday. What then? Take a moment to read the fears we as parents/carers carry every day ⬇️ #CalebsCauseNI #LifelongCare #Disability @mlchealth

Just completed the @Ed_Authority's consultation on SEN Enhanced Support Model / classroom support reform. This feels driven by cost, not by need. It appears to weaken accountability, pushes more onto already overstretched schools, and provides no evidence it will improve outcomes. If you have any stake in this - as a parent, carer, teacher, anyone — please read those documents. It's more about what they don't say than what they do. As a parent of a child with SEN in a special school, I'm deeply invested in getting SEN reform right. We absolutely need change, but I have real concerns about what's being proposed here. For what it's worth, here are my main concerns. 👇 @AutismReviewer @CalebsCauseNI @NickDMathison @SENreformNI @ChrisNICCY @ChildLawCentre @EqualityCommNI @Ed_Authority @Education_NI

There was a major renewables conf in Belfast yesterday with hundreds of experts.
They have solutions to OIL hikes - but offshore wind first mooted for NI in 2022 might not be built by 2036.
DfE Minister meant to go - but dropped out 👇

I wasn't successful in texting @BBCTalkback due to poor reception - so here's my response to Newton Emerson's disparaging comments on the value of Co-Design @DPACNIreland.

My statement on the recent events in Maguiresbridge.

[Christine McClements @Chris_McClem]

I haven't listened to this yet but the scenario doesn't surprise me in the slightest

NI Health Trusts withdraw the vital lifeline of respite support at a moments notice with zero care for the impact which drives more #UnpaidCarers beyond their limits

MLAs do nothing to help 😡

@C_Fitz_ I must but should not have to. I am 74 years old with two serious chronic conditions which I manage very well most of the time. All I needed was an emergency prescription. I am in shock as I bother no-one.

[letusgrowtogether @bodhran]

@AndSobriety Stay strong it will pass.

[letusgrowtogether @bodhran]

@SineadAoibheann Well done for speaking out so honestly, very brave.

[David McCann @dmcbfs]

Don't put money in to water today-fewer houses get built tomorrow-people cannot buy.

Don't invest in skills/HE today-more younger people leave tomorrow-lower growth.

Don't reform health today-long waiting lists-worse outcomes.

All costs of inaction.

[SEN Reform NI @SENreformNI]

We are launching our survey aimed at gathering insights of parent/carers of children with SEND on the education system in NI. This year we have joined forces with @CalebsCauseNI to represent pre-school to post-16 and beyond. Please complete the survey below.

@CathMcGin_Tea Thank you.

[letusgrowtogether @bodhran]

@CathMcGin_Tea Please explain what this is about, I thought the Sculpture was unveiled a few weeks ago.
