NHS England is rolling back its mental health support for NHS hospital staff. No new patients will be accepted....given the parlous state of services and how some staff can be broken by their work this seems a backwards step.

This is heartbreaking & all too common.

Rampant financialization by private equity.

The world would be a much better place if we had more journalists of the calibre of John Pring. Doing the hard graft of investigative journalism while others spout ignorant shite for attention.

Maybe we need to think a bit more about this 'professional opinion' and what role it plays in our politics

I have never seen less “who, what, where, when, why” in a headline

Oxevision's justification doesn't look to stand up, and that's *before* serious ethical concerns. Indeed, in their study 'the approach to analysis seems creative'.
