Thank you. Little do they know what a thin edge of the wedge this is. To stop valuing any human is the first step on the path to valuing no one.

I hope it included services that enable positive and safe birth for women and babies and supporting breastfeeding including full implementation of the WHO Code on the marketing of breastmilk substitutes.

The key thing managers in the NHS need to understand is how service or production systems work and how to run them to maximise throughput while maintaining quality and holding costs, all without burning out the delivery staff. It can be done but NHS managers are not taught how.

I can highly recommend it. Just get a copy and have a read.

Read it carefully. The issues were minor. The reduction in section rate in births planned as out of hospital birth also has a knock on beneficial effect for subsequent pregnancy outcomes.

The study is on 64,000 low risk pregnancies. Hospitals are the place for high risk pregnancies. Many people think hospital makes birth a lot safer. For low risk women it doesn’t.

It depends how you calculate it. The costs of a home birth look considerably cheaper but you have to factor in that hospital facilities need to be there for home birth if the mother or midwife decides they need to transfer in.

Yes high risk births are what hospitals are for. However for the rest hospital birth isn’t improving safety in the way it is often implied it is.

It would be a very good idea to warn women of hospital birth risks. www.npeu.ox.ac.uk/birthplace.

They don’t have spare capacity. Across most of the NHS the constraint is available clinician hours. Private sector takes those hours, makes a profit from them so making NHS waiting lists worse! When will Wes learn. #nhs @teamlabouruk.bsky.social

Getting ultra rich is a particular narrow skill which also requires having a rich daddy. It doesn’t make you compassionate or able to advise on world issues. So why do we think it does.

This is such a miserable thing to do. Loosing any semblance of light in the late afternoon. Forcing more energy use. How about we delay until end of November and reset in Feb. Gives us just enough dark not to be sick of it.

Advertising beguiled people into unhealthy choices. Advertising should only be allowed for single ingredient food items.

The food crisis is more complicated. Women do not have time to shop daily and cook from scratch. Men don’t think it’s their job to do it. Manufacturers ought to have to pay to be allowed to use non traditional interference and wrap things in plastic.

He is a disgrace and should be being investigated for a number of crimes.

I and @pbe.co.uk would agree.

Of course they did. Thats what big business with shareholders does. If it doesn’t make money directly or indirectly, it’s out.
