If we don’t have #GP available to promote good #chronicdisease management eg good #hypertension control then people will accumulate morbidities more rapidly overwhelming secondary care - hospital care more costly so the current underinvestment in #primarycare unsustainable #NHS

Victim wanted!!! We arrested a lovely bike thief with the pictured bike that he'd just half inched. If this is yours and you can prove it, call 101 (ref 0710615/23), or come to the police station because the skipper keeps bumping into it. Nicked from Teddington BR on 29/09.

Earlier intervention can avert a crisis
