Ahead of #Budget2021 @JamesBullion - We need respite from the current situation to stabilise it, we need a recovery model that gets social care on a par with the NHS and gets it functioning properly, and then we need reform. @ShaunLintern independent.co.uk/news/healt…

The govt's proposals for integrated care are welcome but the Achilles heel is the absence of a long term plan for social care @PaulBurstow @normanlamb @Helen_Whately @sarahwollaston @Barker4Kate @RichardnotatKF blogs.bmj.com/bmj/2021/02/15…
Public health in local government could have been better resourced to fight covid #Covid_19 #publichealth
NAO report finds only £785 million out of £15bn budget allocated to NHS T&T up to Sept was allocated to local authorities for their vital work. Speaks for itself @didoharding @CWilkinsOldham @Jeanelleuk @KateAlvanley @jimmcmanusph @GabrielScally nao.org.uk/wp-content/upload…
I support @AlcoholChangeUK’s call for government to overhaul the UK’s unfair alcohol duty system. @KemiBadenoch and her team have the chance to ensure alcohol duty is used to protect health, reduce harm and cover alcohol’s huge cost to our NHS and public services #DutyToRecover

We have found resources for PPE, for testing, for Infection control, for supporting people and supporting providers. If we do not find resources for staff we will not get through the next wave and winter unscathed. On this particular issue nationally we are sleepwalking....
Absolutely! Need investment from the government to invest in our care workforce. #PCWWeek20 #HereToCare @ASCAPPG @DHSCgovuk

Great to be speaking at #CareHealthHousingReset today on the housing, its relationship to care and equality. @1adass want expanded extra care, greater housing rights, a funded housing approach to transforming care, and a partnership on housing support for vulnerable people.
Sad that Torbay is one of places most badly impacted in the country for covid, definitely needs government help! #torbay #ifs #nuffieldfoundation
#COVID19 means the geography of vulnerabilities in England has shifted away from traditional North–South or urban–rural divides.
Policymakers at different levels will need to coordinate their response.

“Evidence is growing that the virus became seeded among the most vulnerable and frail & elderly people in social care after hospitals discharged sick people without testing them for Covid-19 ..to build capacity in hospitals that was not then needed.” ft.com/content/40fc8904-febf…
