Comedy is tragedy plus timing…

That’s the us patent. I think possibly making in Newark, Nottinghamshire Uk, at least in 1871.

I’ve just removed a wall of cafferata plaster and straw blocks from a 1930s uk house. Straw acting like steel rods and lightening brick and total plaster. Built in insulation. Not what I was expecting!

Good to see this list of ICB duties in one place. On the ‘Duty as to promoting integration’ is that the closest mention of VCSE sector: “health-related services or social care services” ?

Hope you all got your organisational NHS Change submissions in yesterday! NHSE’s letter is ramping up local discussions about the shift to healthy neighbourhoods. 👍

We’re proud to have supported the VS6 Partnership in Liverpool City Region for the last decade, supporting the sector to create opportunities, skills, employment, inclusion, health equality and to tackle poverty. #vcfse #devolution

Really impressed with the West Yorkshire work on coproduction.

Working in partnership with NHS at the moment is extremely challenging given the financial situation. Feels like we are playing extreme alpine football and pretending we are just on a normal pitch.
