Apart from the direct causes of the ongoing NHS crisis (budget, workforce management), the role the collapse in funding for preventative health outside the NHS has had on demand for services needs to be recognised.

Since 2015/16 the Public Health Grant to local authorities has fallen by 26% per person (worse in some deprived areas), halting or limiting pubic health interventions in many areas of health!

A serious health strategy would rebuild this provision!

Well, this is fascinating! The city of Poznan, Poland uses eight clams to control their water supply. When the water is clean, they remain open, but close when contaminated, closing a sensor harmlessly glued to their shell. Computers do the rest. After three months, the clams are returned to their original home and replaced with new clams. #science #health #clever https://kottke.org/24/12/eight-clams-control-this-polish-citys-water-supply

And just in case (having read the previous post) you were thinking a healthy diet is all about choice.... what we actually see is that to maintain a healthy diet takes an impossible proportion of disposable income for the poorest 20% of the population.... no-one can spend 70% of their income on food when they also are confronted with rising fuel prices & record rents....

We are living in a country which is hurtling back to the social structures of Victorian Britain.
