Our response @Thea_Stein @sallygainsbury on a Budget that offered quite a bit for long term tech... though we can't say quite how much; a day to day #NHS budget that has just slightly gone up and will probably need more; and nothing (0) on social care. nuffieldtrust.org.uk/news-item/nuff…

Today's recommendation is great news for people with sickle cell disease. Voxelotor will be funded immediately via @NHSEngland ’s Innovative Medicines Fund and means around 4,000 people with sickle cell disease in England are set to benefit from the treatment straight away⬇️
This is one of the biggest breakthroughs in treatment for sickle cell in recent decades. This roll out is part of our wider drive to improve the quality and experience of care for sickle cell patients and tackle the stigma and challenges they have told me they face.
I got vaccinated just in case he comes out.
This sort of erroneous cumulating used to pop up years ago in NHS planned spending too. @sallygainsbury
To get the £75 billion number, the government has assumed a baseline with spending frozen in cash terms and then added up all of the differences. If you instead assume a baseline of spending frozen as a % GDP, it's an extra £20 billion over 6 years. Details here.
Ok just seen the front pages about 'sicknote culture'. These arguments are just full of holes. Yes we should care about work and health, but top priority should be helping people *out of work already* not those who take time off sick. First on Fit Notes, this is data since 2019:
We welcome this new briefing from @oxfamgbpolicy calling for a feminist caring economy. We all need care at some point in our lives and everyone should live with the dignity that care from others can provide.
Today, we launched our #Valued report with partners. Care is essential. It sustains our social and economic foundations. We need political will and leadership to value all care and finally break the link between care, poverty and inequalities. A thread🧵 policy-practice.oxfam.org/resources/valu…
I genuinely think the world would be a better place if we saw more of this kind of humility and openness in public policy. Nicely done @AmandaPritchard
We don’t always get things right and I really want to encourage people continue to speak to us about these issues so we can make the right decisions for our patients and staff.

@NuffieldTrust @sallygainsbury We have seen increasing numbers of cancer patients trying to navigate their best route by crossing back and forth between private and NHS but it comes at a cost financially, from a communication perspective and negative opinions shared about their decision to switch.
Very good points here. We’re currently analysing NHS patient referral patterns in England to private/independent sector providers in light of patient choice policies and competition. A further piece in this complicated jigsaw is about market structure and development (1/n)
Outsourcing more NHS patients to the private sector would be a quick fix to find extra capacity, and many patients would be glad of it. But unless extra capacity is also added to the NHS it risks the NHS permanently hard-wiring inequality into who gets treated first >
@EllaRobertaFdn I wrote to Cllr Holland about the LTN proposal pre-Covid. I told her SEN transport would suffer, my road would be sacrificed, the A20 would be gridlocked with terrible consequences for its lower income residents, many from minority ethnic backgrounds. I was ignored. I was right
@EllaRobertaFdn “This will be a the first of a series of LTNs.” But it wasn’t. So the council squandered all the Covid social distancing money on a pre-Covid nimby scheme to up house prices and make quiet high car-owning roads quieter, worsening my son’s asthma.
@EllaRobertaFdn @SE6Steve This article looks at barriers to black residents owning homes, consigning them to rent on busy roads. @LewishamCouncil intentionally adding traffic to these roads discriminates against BAME residents. bloomberg.com/news/features/…
The dire Lee LTN which is about milking money (3M) first yr. Nothing to do with C19 or air quality. Lewisham council argue it funds schemes ie. pensioner oyster cards. That’s not a reason to stunt young lung growth & council tax has risen. The fall out healthwise is catastrophic.
