“Unprecedented” welfare cuts could pile demand on NHS, leaders warn

“Unprecedented” welfare cuts could pile demand on NHS, leaders warn

“Unprecedented” welfare cuts could pile demand on NHS, leaders warn The UK government has announced plans to slash £5bn from the country’s welfare bill by 2030 as part of radical reforms designed to help more people with disabilities or long term sickness back into work. Ministers said that the proposals (see box), set out in a green paper,1 would fix the country’s “broken” welfare system in which one in 10 people of working age now claim a sickness or disability benefit, with 2.8 million people out of work because of long term sickness. Announcing the reforms in parliament on 18 March, the work and pensions secretary, Liz Kendall, said that an additional £1bn investment would be made available to provide tailored support to help...

Lawrence Wilson obituary

Lawrence Wilson obituary My friend and colleague Lawrence Wilson, who has died aged 52 of a stroke, trained a generation of anaesthetists in the north-west of England and led the intensive care unit at the Countess of Chester hospital during the pandemic. The respect and affection with which he was held was made clear during his own final days in hospital, as every clinician who looked after him had a fondly remembered story to tell. Lawrence was born in Burnley, Lancashire, the son of Frances (nee Ward) and Richard Wilson. The family moved to nearby Preston when he was seven – he was a proud Preston “Guild baby” (born in a Guild year and attending, in his pram, the week-long celebrations that have been held every 20 years for...

Culture warriors see not sick Britain, but a plague of 'overdiagnosis'. How convenient | Rhiannon Lucy Cosslett

Culture warriors see not sick Britain, but a plague of 'overdiagnosis'. How convenient | Rhiannon Lucy Cosslett Instead of dismissing huge swaths of the population, how about a nuanced conversation about neurodivergence and mental health? Is “overdiagnosis” the new culture-war buzzword of choice? I had been wondering this for a while, and then Wes Streeting claimed on Sunday that there is an “overdiagnosis” of some mental health conditions. Now I am certain it is. I first noticed the term being used in relation to anxiety and depression, then attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and most recently autism. Two books on overdiagnosis, Suzanne O’Sullivan’s The Age of Diagnosis and Searching for Normal by Sami Timimi, have...

Smoking rates in parts of England rise for first time since 2006, study shows

Smoking rates in parts of England rise for first time since 2006, study shows South-west sees biggest jump, up 17% between 2020 and 2024, while rate in southern England increases by 10% Smoking rates in parts of England have increased for the first time in nearly two decades, according to research. Academics at University College London examined smoking data for more than 350,000 adults in England over an 18-year period. They found that while the proportion of adults who smoke cigarettes, pipes, cigars or other forms of tobacco fell from 25.3% of the population in 2006 to 16.5% in 2024, progress since 2020 has flatlined and in some areas smoking rates are increasing again.

Abolition of NHS England seeks to put ministers in control of the NHS

Abolition of NHS England seeks to put ministers in control of the NHS

Abolition of NHS England seeks to put ministers in control of the NHS Reorganisation threatens to distract managers and staff from work to improve patient care In the end, enough was enough. Having promised not to undertake a top-down reorganisation of the NHS, that is exactly what Wes Streeting and Keir Starmer decided to do.1 NHS England is being abolished. The government’s decision was prompted by growing frustrations on the part of ministers at the duplication of responsibilities between NHS England and the Department of Health and Social Care and the need to find savings. Pressures on public finances have increased since last autumn’s budget, in part because of the government’s commitment to spend more on defence. With the Office...
