🚨 Our new survey finds that councils are in significantly worse position than before the Autumn Statement, with seven in ten councils now no longer confident of delivering a balanced budget in 2024/25. Today, we and @LGAcomms call for government action: https://t.co/fSciufbGcg

Quite right for #Newsnight to say that Social Care has a planned fix in the future, but an urgent capacity problem right now needing national coordination of 100,000 jobs, and a national plan for increasing home care @1adass bottom line, no care fix, no health fix. @NorfolkASSD

We certainly do! To be clear social care is NOT the main cause of hospital discharge delays. This lazy reporting lacked data on causes. It is NHS services to provide a period of recovery at home which is lacking. There ARE social care shortages in the community. @1adass

Elderly lady calls 111 with concerning symptoms. Triage GP can’t get through to her on phone. I get sent to visit. Can’t get in house. Spent 30 mins talking to neighbours, climbing over gate etc. Turns out she’s been in hospital for hours 🤦‍♂️#waste #SharedCareRecordsNow

Another day, another push from national for patients to access information digitally (esp. in relation to elective recovery) with no plans or funding for digital inclusion. We are about to widen health inequalities even more...

It’s not often a small log file manipulation routine causes widespread panic across the internet, writes Mark Brett. That’s what has happened when a small, beautifully formed Java function was exploited to be naughty not nice by ‘Elf on the Shelf’ gamers
