🔺Investigation

The work of hospices is precious and precarious. We’ve found they’re cutting jobs, beds and home care.

70% of hospices are in financial deficit. They’ve asked the govt for an emergency £110m to avoid more cuts.

What would happen if paediatric and midwifery services were treated and funded in a similar vein to palliative and end of life services?

Please ensure that palliative care is properly funded and show that you care about everyone at every stage of their life @rthonwesstreeting.bsky.social
In the week that MPs vote on assisted dying, please - please - can we all agree & act on the fact that the time to end the woeful underfunding of NHS palliative care is now?

If we truly cared about dying people, we wouldn’t neglect their final days.

Over to you, @rthonwesstreeting.bsky.social

One of the forms of hybrid warfare Russia is developing to use in Western nations is cyber-attacks to disable sewerage systems, flooding the rivers with shit. How, in the UK, would we detect them?
