@Budget I’ve had to get a taxi to the airport and leave my car for retrieval by AA. How difficult will it be to get the £300 deposit released on my card?

@scotgovhealth @scotgov 2 years AND BEYOND is the guidance from NICE. This is an unfortunate miscommunication 😢 @scotgovhealth @scotgov @DrJusticeReilly @BfN_UK @wbtiuk

@stuartberry1 @BenAllenGP @CernerUX No they don’t. However often the cost in secondary care is significantly different to drug tariff due to national procurement contracts

[#hellomynameis Gayle @phig75]

@BenAllenGP @DocRods It’s down to the cost of the excipients required to ensure the drug is stable in the suspended form. It will always be more expensive to formulate a liquid/suspension than a tablet/capsule

@alisonthewliss are you aware Iceland are breaking the law on infant formula?

[#hellomynameis Gayle @phig75]

@GMB can we have a specialist involved in the formula discussion? @Prof_AmyBrown would be a great addition to this debate

[#hellomynameis Gayle @phig75]

@GMB in relation to the infant formula discussion…there are very few medications that impact on breastfeeding. The issue here is huge companies making a fortune, often unethically, from this! More money needs to be put into supporting women to make decisions and reach goals!!

[#hellomynameis Gayle @phig75]

@TUIUK @HJWilson_ @chelseadesigns_ It is illegal to prevent breastfeeding in any situation (UK law). I suggest you ensure a full RCA is conducted and training done with your team @TUIUK. Additionally, I’d suggest you stop posting the same response over and over as it actually contradicts your official statement

[#hellomynameis Gayle @phig75]

😡 beyond raging!

[Chelsea Designs @chelseadesigns_]

@TUIUK Discrimination against breastfeeding mothers. I await your response

[#hellomynameis Gayle @phig75]

@chelseadesigns_ @AssocBfMothers @TUIUK WOW!!! This is not just discrimination but potentially illegal. Absolutely disgusted and enraged at this

[Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus @DrTedros]

.@WHO recommends exclusive #breastfeeding for the first six months of life, and continued breastfeeding for two years or beyond, if parents are able to do so.

However, manufacturers of breastmilk substitutes are using sophisticated marketing tactics to market formula to mothers in a way that discourages them from breastfeeding. We must work together to end #ExploitativeMarketing!

@Isla_Skinner @kjh96uk @liambarker I personally don’t prescribe because I’m told to. It is important for me to know it is appropriate, cost effective and safe. Not because someone told me to!

[#hellomynameis Gayle @phig75]

@tractorgirly @IainMacPha20279 @RealStephenKerr I think you’ll find our taxes ARE going towards paying for this despite it not being of any benefit whatsoever

[Hope Over Fear @hopeoverfear01]

That look.

[#hellomynameis Gayle @phig75]

@PharmResUK @PharmacistHF @WellbeingofWmen Cheers Paul, I’ll take a look 👍🏼

[#hellomynameis Gayle @phig75]

@GMB these services have been available in community pharmacy in Scotland for years. Additionally we have independent prescribers available for many other medical issues preventing the need for GP appointments. #PharmacyFirst #PharmacyFirstPlus
