“Managing a long term condition or disability requires interaction with more than 40 services across 9 different organisations.”

This is, by some distance, the most unforgivably stupidest thing the government is doing. An easily sellable proposal, which would actually help Brits, and unlocks meaningful negotiation. Irrational and anti-growth.

Brussels is demanding one as part of the government's "reset" of relations with the bloc.

Predatory journals would be a lot less of a problem if a doctor's "worth" was not primarily measured by their list of academic publications.
The number of predatory journals is difficult to accurately determine but was estimated at more than 15 000 in 2021.
What can authors, institutions, funders, and editors do?

How will NICE respond to the finding that its decisions on NHS funding of new drugs between 2000–20, displaced more population health than it generated? www.thelancet.com/journals/lan...
Population-health impact of new drugs recommended by the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence in England during 2000–20: a retrospective analysis
During 2000–20, NHS coverage of new drugs displaced more population health than it generated. Our results highlight the inherent trade-offs between individuals who directly benefit from new drugs and those who forgo health due to the reallocation of resources towards new drugs.
