Today's amber Cold-Health Alert means that cold weather impacts are likely to be felt across the whole health service for an extended period of time. The resulting impact on services has the potential to put the wider population at risk.

[NHS @NHSuk]

As temperatures drop this week, remember that other people such as older neighbours, friends and family members, may need some extra help.

The situation in the UK is deeply concerning. Health is declining and health inequalities are widening. This is not the case with other European countries. The UK's rankings have gone down since 2014. What a tragic waste of lives @ucl @bmj_latest

We've already received calls about people who've become trapped after attempting to drive through floodwater water.

Please don't drive through floodwater water.

The water is usually deeper than it looks.

A few inches can flood an engine.

A couple of feet can float a car.
