The government's proposed cuts to disability benefits will deepen poverty and hardship, and push many further from work 📢 Over 3 million disabled people will see their benefits cut, but the government's plans may help just 45,000-95,000 more disabled people into work. 1/2

Another day, another hospice forced to cut services & staff due to inadequate funding. This one—just outside the constituency of a #AssistedDyingBill sponsor—receives government funding for only **25%** of its care. The rest raised by donations. In the context of assisted

J.A.M. I doubt it would come into effect that quick although you never know. It's a pretty shoddy way to treat IMGs who lets face it we have been reliant on for decades.

2 weeks ago I had the privilege of attending the Houses of Parliament to speak to MPs about the #assisteddyingbill alongside Prof Katherine Sleeman Jamilla Hussain Allan House. I focussed on my concerns about the consequences to the medical workforce from participation. 1/

A key backer of the #assisteddyingbill bill points out people are “far more likely to commit crimes when they believe there will be no consequences”. Now look at the bill. There will be no inquests or functional mechanism to detect wrongful deaths (called murder).

This speech from James Frith MP gets to the heart of the problem pinpointed in oral evidence to the Bill committee by both Alex Ruck Keene and Dr Rachel Clarke. What choice or autonomy is there for very ill patients, if there’s no decent palliative or social care offered to them? 👇

The reason this stands out to me is that over the past few months, as I’ve spoken to MPs and their teams about the bill, many of those who normally work hard to advocate for the most at-risk—disabled people, domestic abuse survivors, those with mental illness—don’t see the need

We spend so little on care for people with dementia or on the pay of the wonderful and thinly-spread Staff of care homes. Is it any wonder things are worrying?

Even those “celebrity ambassadors” on media standby who do have serious mental illness have lives which bear no resemblance to the people I see As regards poverty, access to healthcare and support, housing, social networks, understanding employers, stigma They are worlds apart

The NHS 10 Year Plan is expected to focus on a shift from hospital to community. To make this shift a reality, says Helen Salisbury, this work needs to happen with GPs in the room bmj.com/content/389/bm…
