I’m so glad we’ve got a Labour government in the U.K. so that they can have their agenda set by, and work on implementing whatever nonsense has seeped from vile Farage’s mouth on any particular day.
Wes Streeting orders review of mental health diagnoses as benefit claims soar
Wes Streeting orders review of mental health diagnoses as benefit claims soar
Health secretary has asked experts to investigate whether normal feelings have become ‘over-pathologised’ The health secretary, Wes Streeting, has ordered a clinical review of the diagnosis of mental health conditions, according to reports. Streeting is understood to be concerned about a sharp rise in the number of people making sickness benefits claims because of diagnoses for mental illness, autism and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), the Times reported. He has asked leading experts to investigate whether normal feelings have become “over-pathologised”, the newspaper said, as he seeks to grapple with the 4.4 million working-age people now claiming sickness or incapacity benefit. The figure has risen by 1.2 million since 2019, while the number of 16 to 34-year-olds off work with long-term sickness because of a mental health condition is said to have grown rapidly in the same period. Streeting told the Times he knew from “personal experience how devastating it can be for people who face poor mental health, have ADHD or autism and can’t get a diagnosis or the right support”. He added: “I also know, from speaking to clinicians, how the diagnosis of these conditions is sharply rising. “We must look at this through a strictly clinical lens to get an evidence-based understanding of what we know, what we don’t know, and what these patterns tell us about our mental health system, autism and ADHD services. “That’s the only way we can ensure everyone gets timely access to accurate diagnosis and effective support.” The review, which is expected to be launched on Thursday, is set to be led by Prof Peter Fonagy, a clinical psychologist at University College London specialising in child mental health, with Sir Simon Wessely, a former president of the Royal College of Psychiatry, acting as vice-chair.

Find someone who looks at you the way Apple Music looks at Boards of Canada when you choose a focus or chill mix*

Unlikely songs you’ll always go in to bat for:

Bad Liar by Selena Gomez.

I mean, I dunno, maybe this isn’t all that unlikely, but in a way the song has everything working against it…

Music hot take:

I’d rather listen to something barely tolerable, than something boring and predictable.

Trip this am to the Ferens Gallery in Hull and it’s so exciting to see Kossof, Auerbach, Riley, Wearing, Ofili, Blake and so many others all under one roof. A cultural gem of the north. Then Xmas treated myself to books by Sontag and Berger. Now coffee!

Did Q ever say “Hoisted by my own Picard!” in that beautifully mocking sarcastic tone that John de Lancie does so well? Missed opportunity if not.

Oh, and welcome to my first ever proper bleet (or whatever they’re called in lovely Bluesky land).
