"Due to a processing error, a number of people who died within 28 days of a positive COVID-19 test in 2022 were not reported in a timely manner. 2,714 deaths within 28 days of a positive test were added retrospectively on 6 April 2022." Oh my.

Right now a cruel bill that seeks to turn people fleeing for their lives from war & persecution into criminals is progressing through Parliament.

Help us spread the word – please like and share.

Parents of babies in neonatal care shouldn't have to pay for lateral flow tests - they need to be with their sick babies.

New economic research by @CPEC_LSE launched today with the MMHA and @CentreforMH shows increasing access to treatment for common maternal mental health problems could have a net benefit of around half a billion pounds: https://t.co/O7rngUafHd #ASoundInvestment #MakeAllCareCount

Here's your Covid headline journo-types: 10,000 people have now died of Covid since the restrictions and mandates were lifted on July 19, averaging more than 100 every day.

Thoroughly enjoyed my first @MMHAlliance members meeting earlier. So much going on. Very motivating. Thanks to all involved in making it run so well.

So how about for #WorldMentalHealthDay this year we all put the ‘awareness’ and ‘lifestyle’ advice to one side and focus on challenging the inequality and injustice that drive so much mental ill health?

What is the role of primary care (GPs and associated professions) in providing essential #PerinatalMentalHealth support*?

*If commissioned and adequately funded and resourced. #MakeAllCareCount #EveryonesBusiness

[Maternal Mental Health Alliance @MMHAlliance]

Currently, access to #PerinatalMentalHealth support is not equal. Action is needed to ensure essential services, inc primary care, are commissioned, funded and resourced. MMHA will continue to identify gaps and the impact they have on women, babies and families. #MakeAllCareCount

[Justin Irwin @justirwin]

A good first week, lots to learn, so much to build upon.

[Maternal Mental Health Alliance @MMHAlliance]
