Very pleased to join the @WHO meeting on air pollution, climate change and health in Peking University Health Science Centre. More to be done both in scientific research for evidence, and actionable policy and strategy.

Nurses' pay? Making nurses and other public sector workers poorer is continuation of a trend. We seem to want an economy that tolerates, perhaps encourages, poverty in low paid workers. It's wrong-headed. To get the economy to grow, increase incomes of the poorest 60%.

My chart of the year. Spells out the two big trends shaping our economy: 1) the inequality of the 1980s 2) the stagnation of the 2010s The toxic combination of the two is crucifying low & middle income Britain - poorer Brits are 22% poorer than their French counterparts

#UK: at St. Mary’s Hospital with my family to support #nurses’ strike action. Multiple issues that @WHO promotes: Decent Work. Safe Staffing. Patient Safety. Fair Pay. Gender Pay Gap. The evidence is in favour of #nurses. @theRCN @ICNurses

There's the moral argument for increasing nurses' pay - very strong. Then, there's the economic argument. Want to fill all those vacant nurses' posts? Pay a decent wage, and relieve the pressures of understaffed services.
