@ShaunLintern @mndassoc Shaun - I’m so very sorry and send you and your family my love and condolences. May she rest in peace

I asked Jim Mackey today about @CamillaKingdon report into paediatric audiology...he said the NHS has got to be more curious about areas that are not in the spotlight, the so-called Cinderella services like child audiology:

Sunday Times interview with Dr Camilla Kingdon ahead of the publication of her paediatric audiology review tomorrow…

🚨 The Kingdon Review reveals systemic failings in UK children's hearing services. Urgent reform is needed to prevent further harm. BAA stands ready to act. Let's ensure no child is left behind.

309 children are known to have been harmed after being misdiagnosed by audiology services between 2018 and 2023 but this was probably an underestimate. “I’m not confident in anything about this programme. More children could have been harmed," said @CamillaKingdon

Hundreds of deaf children misdiagnosed in @NHSEngland ‘disaster’: Many were wrongly given the all-clear when they needed hearing aids or cochlear implants, permanently stunting their development, says @CamillaKingdon report

@wesstreeting responds with a v strong statement: “For years, hundreds of children with deafness were failed by a system that should have protected them. Dr Kingdon's report exposes a decade of unacceptable failings – not just in the NHS, but in what is now my own dept too..."

[Wes Streeting @wesstreeting]

For years, hundreds of babies and children with deafness were failed by a system that should have protected them.

Sunlight is the best disinfectant.

A decade of unacceptable failure uncovered.

I’m very sorry to those families affected and I’m taking action to fix it.

One of the worst scandals - robbing hundreds of children of their life chances:

[Prof May Ng OBE 吳 诗 梅 @mayng888]

The Kingdon about how hundreds of deaf children were misdiagnosed has struck me deeply — because this is personal. We were the lucky ones as my son caught up, despite 5 yrs of silence. But I’ll never get back those lost years. My heart aches for families affected💔

As a children’s nurse & mum, I want to reinforce:

I’m really proud of this policy blueprint from @HealthyAirUK It lays out some well thought through recommendations for govt and provides the science underpinning it. Air pollution is now the 2nd biggest contributor to illness and death globally - we have to do better

[Impact on Urban Health @ImpUrbanHealth]

Today, @HealthyAirUK launch a new blueprint showing how Govt can improve air quality:

🎯Healthy air targets
🔥Phase out wood burning
🚗Cut traffic
🌾Cleaner farming

Everyone deserves #ClearAir. Read more: https://t.co/nFEjVqQ8Fm

[RCPCH @RCPCHtweets]

Today we launched our new report which highlights how Clean Air Clinics are tackling air pollution, poor housing and child health inequalities. We are now calling for urgent, cross-departmental action to protect children's health.

Air pollution must be recognised as a public health issue.

For #CleanAirDay we are publishing our new report 'A breath of fresh air', which highlights the growing evidence about the increased range of health impacts linked to air pollution. With impacts on both mortality and healthy life expectancy, the effects of toxic air on individuals, society, the economy and the #NHS are huge.
