đŸ§”How do you feel about skinny jabs? I visited the factory near Kinsale making a key ingredient in #Mounjaro - really interesting and brought up a lot of questions for me around how we view/deal with obesity

When parents like Ciara say "they fight for everything" it's only when they start breaking down the list of the outrageous things they do, you realise how true that is #disabilities #equalcare

It's not only delays in surgery affecting kids with disabilities ... Ciara Dunne on taking their son, 16, to a veterinary hospital to get weighed. Why? because many CDNTs don't have the right scales and there's a shortage of PHNs now also https://t.co/jfrhfMcVZL

So the health committee sat for the first time today, looking at how the proposed Mental Health Bill could work. Lots of talk of how staffing gaps could undermine the plans - as is the situation in Cork and Kerry unfortunately - https://t.co/q4wpdclwKn

đŸ§”Still no national screening programme for hip dysplasia 8 years after a working group made recommendations? "The whole thing is in chaos now. It’s probably seen as toxic There is no sense of urgency, no sense of determination to get this done" https://t.co/7Hg0ajh91A

The national screening programme proposed by a HSE steering group in 2017 was not set up. Now a consultant says 'we have no idea what the national rate of late diagnosis is' as a result
