Spending most of my time over on the other site. Cardiff born, Barry bred & Grangetown settled.

[Less Survivable Cancers Taskforce @LessSurvivable]

Great drop-in event at the Senedd yesterday, where we spoke with MSs about the urgent action needed for less survivable cancers in Wales. A huge thanks to @tenovuscancer for their support in organising the event. #LessSurvivableCancersAwarenessWeek

[Welsh Government Health and Social Care @WGHealthandCare]

Know your symptoms this #LessSurvivableCancersAwarenessWeek

Some of the most dangerous cancers have some of the most vague symptoms - so it's important to be aware of them.

If anything is unusual, see your GP as soon as possible.

We're pleased to see @tenovuscancer's warnings have been amplified by the BBC today https://t.co/xzvnIaC70A

Gynaecological cancer wait times got worse; despite being a government priority.

[Claire's Campaign Cymru @clairecampaign]

🟣Stats Wales has updated its cancer waiting times stats for October 24.

📉The % of patients in Wales who met the Welsh Government's 62-day suspected pathway target decreased from 38.4% to 33.6%.

📝The current target is 75%.

Would happily watch a Black Doves spin off series featuring the female Welsh assassin.

[Tenovus Cancer Care Policy and Insight Team @TCCInsightTeam]

Pleased to have been able to contribute - on behalf of @clairecampaign - to yesterday's intervention.
The Women's Health Plan presents a rare opportunity to address the issues raised in the @seneddhealth "Unheard" report in a joined-up way.
Diolch, @DelythJewellAM.

@LordRixondale Yeah - there's that 😬

I was today years old before I realised that hot water bottles can be dated to within a week of manufacture. Number = year, petal = month, dots = week.

[South Wales Fire and Rescue Service @SWFireandRescue]

Make sure your hot water bottle is safe before every use.

✔️ Check for signs of wear and tear before use
✔️ Look at the flower symbol on the bottle to show when it was made
❌ Don’t use a hot water bottle more than 2 years old
❌ Never fill a hot water bottle with boiling water.

What are you doing @ASA_UK to tackle this dross? Dystopian.

[Huw Thomas @huwthomas]

Some wild stuff on the @WalesOnline mobile app today. If you tap the weird AI photos (don’t do it!), you’re taken to a fake BBC article grifting for crypto.
Meanwhile, digital revenue at Reach plc is growing 💰
