Listen to @ronculley77. He knows a thing or two about health and social care. And, importantly, what needs to be done to address the inequities in the system.

What that man said! @ronculley77 well reasoned argument sir. The inequality between Health and Social Care colleagues is a significant undervaluing of the essential Social Care Workforce – at Scotland, United Kingdom
