Tragic news

The latest @CornwallInsight prediction, based on Ofgem's new methodology, is an 81% price cap rise in Oct (taking typical bill to £3,582/yr) and a further 19% in Jan (so £4,266/yr)

Action & planning is needed now. The zombie govt needs wake up sooner than 5 Sept...

@MartinSLewis @CornwallInsight Crude oil prices plunged more than 7 percent on Tuesday as the American and world benchmarks fell below $100 a barrel.

[NHS Workers Say NO! @NurseSayNO]

Our Band 2 Colleagues currently earn £9.49 an hour.

In April the Minimum Wage goes up to £9.50 and we know our next pay award (due in Apr) will be delayed AGAIN.

So in April our hardworking band 2 NHS workers will be earning below min wage!

RT if you agree this is a DISGRACE

Such a great article about #Delirium. We must educate all healthcare workers to recognize and that medications do not help, avoid #antipsychotics and use non-pharmacologic treatments. @AmerGeriatrics @AmerDelirium
