🚨 EXC: An over-prescribing epidemic is sending 1,000 elderly patients to A&E every single day - a consequence of a fragmented NHS unprepared for the ageing silver tsunami heading its way as 468k baby boomers turn 80 this year: thetimes.com/article/ddf452b…

Oh this is MAGNIFICENT! 🥴

Nottingham hospitals has declared a critical incident today with 200 patients in A&E and 100 waiting to be seen:

On one day earlier this year, @nottmhospitals officially reported 168 FEWER patients waiting on trolleys in its A&E than the A&E staff counted themselves. Across May, on avg every day, it reported 116 fewer than the reality. The trust says this was a genuine error now fixed.

Dear @YvetteCooperMP : For the seventy-billionth time, UTCs and SDECs do nothing to fix corridor care.

Think Shaun’s mailbox could be quite busy here

This obvs won't be happening anywhere else, right? Right?

Nurses and doctors reported the trust to the watchdog after patients were left in corridors without triage, making emergency care ‘absolutely unsafe’ thetimes.com/uk/healthcare/a…

Home time back to Manchester,a quick adhoc meeting of the #valproate campaign committee at Euston with @thetimes health editor @ShaunLintern making plans to take our fight to the next level for the children of valproate @andyburnham @JohnHealey_MP @YvetteCooperMP @DianaJohnsonMP

I spoke to @SkyNews about why stillborn babies like Aubrey are denied access to coroners. Parliament acted in 2019. Seven years later: no report, no timetable. One breath should not decide whether a baby’s death can be investigated. @SophyRidgeSky @WilfredFrost @RidgeandFrost

The full extent of the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital scandal in Scotland, with thanks to all the patient families and whistleblowers for their time. The NHS opened an £842m super hospital. Then came the unexpected deaths thetimes.com/article/e39e257…

Motor neurone disease, or MND, is fatal and rapidly progressing. Here are the facts.

Exclusive from @oliver_wright Andy Burnham has rejected a plea from the health secretary for more money for NHS pay in a sign of tension between cabinet ministers before the budget Yvette Cooper requested hundreds of millions of pounds in extra funding from the Treasury for a pay deal for nurses and to free up resources for frontline care, amid warnings that the government will miss its signature waiting times target But in a highly unusual move, Burnham and John Healey, the chancellor, have jointly written to Cooper to reject the plea, telling her that the pay rise will have to be funded within the NHS’s existing budget One Whitehall source said that this meant that existing health budget allocations would now have to be reopened, piling pressure on hospitals as winter approaches However, another said that the NHS had to “live within its means” and accused the department of failing to make the efficiency savings it had promised when it received a record £29bn funding boost in the last spending review thetimes.com/article/9dabd19…

Another disgraceful response. The government ministers should be thoroughly ashamed of this continued stance. I bet none of them could look my disabled son in the eye and explain to him that he doesn't matter to them. Poisoned by a drug they knew all about.

Motor Neurone Disease traps you inside your body, stripping away the life you love. Help us stop it.
