An early Christmas present for Walton Hospital. 🏥

Five new modular blocks have arrived as part of a £7.5m Community Diagnostic Centre extension, expanding on the £5.2m centre opened in Sept 2025. Huge thanks to everyone involved!

Immensely sad news 😢

Really honest and genuine guy with a strong commitment to development and support. Helped me personally with some mentoring at different times.

Thoughts and condolences are with Paul’s family and friends.

[Sherwood Forest Hospitals NHS FT @SFHFT]

We have been devastated to learn that our Trust Chief Executive, Paul Robinson, has passed away following a year-long battle with illness.

He will be missed by all who knew him and our thoughts remain with his family and friends at this difficult time.

Streeting: "We've got to rebuild community care - think about the role that district nursing provides... it's been undervalued and understaffed"

@UKVolkswagen @BBCWatchdog And… still it continues - so frustrating 😫 @VW @VWGroup

[Simon Burrows @sburrowsNHS]

And…. The fault is back… so 3 months and £2000 after a minor component failure I’m still left with an unusable infotainment system. I have acted in good faith and with patience at all time but this is bordering on ridiculous now @VW @VWGroup @BBCWatchdog

[Simon Burrows @sburrowsNHS]

Hugely disappointed in @VW in resolving a fault with my vehicle caused by an un unmerchantable quality part and poor software infrastructure. Have lost total faith in the brand & customer support experience. Happy to talk to any similarly affected customers - I will take further

[Simon Burrows @sburrowsNHS]

@UKVolkswagen @BBCWatchdog looking online this a recurrent and known issue for many VW users

With the NHS declared broken and @ara_darzi asked to uncover the “hard truths about the NHS”, its productivity woes are perhaps the hardest truth of all: more money, more staff = only marginally higher outputs.

Understanding this is key to fixing the NHS 🧵

[Simon Burrows @sburrowsNHS]

@nickeardleybbc The story is confusingly titled - it’s a cap on universal credit not child benefit (which you continue to get for more than 2 children)

[NHS England @NHSEngland]

The NHS is aware of a global IT outage and an issue with a GP appointment and patient record system.

If you have an appointment please do attend unless you are told otherwise. If you need help use 111 online or by phone and in an emergency call 999.

URGENT! Pls share. The last chance to register to vote in the General Election is 11.59pm tomorrow Tue 18 June. Potentially 8m aren't registered at their current address. Here's 4 key facts...

1) You can do it online here https://t.co/i4FhJoAXfK
2) It's good for your finances. Not being on electoral roll can make it more difficult to be accepted for credit products like bank accounts or mortgages.
3) You can opt out of the 'Open Register' (which allows your info to be sold on) which will stop you getting junk mail marketing )
4) You'll need ID when you do vote (not to register) if you don't have it, you can get it free until Wed 26 June https://t.co/9bfL3hw3CV

Absolutely 💯 agree with @ConfedMatthew on this… too often we think we “know” the answers in public service. This works in short term cycles but not sustainably
