Part of @kscopehealth.bsky.social & Here. Stuff on health & how to improve it. Occasionally veering into south London life.

I wrote this 2 years ago & very much playing out now. The NHS has been at the front of the public cash queue... No longer. There will be no Breakfast with Frost mk2. We're only slowly getting our heads round that.
