#Farage 'doesn't want' #NHS 2 be publicly funded. Andrea Jenkyns proposes that asylum seekers 'sleep in tents'. #Reform talks of cutting, yes cutting, Council spending. The UK is divided, the rich, like Farage & Jenkyns, need to pay fair compassionate tax, they won't. shorturl.at/C7Zxr

1.Helpful lymphodema clinic appointment today. Confirmed affected arm and hand 20% bigger than the other. Supplied with two full length sleeves and two gloves. Free of charge. Very thankful for the NHS.

2. Bumped into an old friend of my mother in M&S cafe.We had a lovely short catch up.

3. Arrived home just in time for my husband to help my neighbour push start their car.

The NHS needs a better workforce plan:

Mammography; vacancy rates - 17.5% for screening mammographers, nearly 20% for symptomatic mammographers;

Diagnostic Radiography - vacancies up from 12% to 13% over the past year, alone;

Clinical Radiology; 31% shortfall projected to rise to 41% within five years.

all of which leads to delays in diagnosis & treatment & worse patient outcomes!

The NHS is not holding on to, or appointing enough doctors!

As the debate about the role & use of patient records continues to be refracted through question about how patient data might be commercialised by firms accessing it, the issue of accuracy remains a major problem that needs to be resolved.

Research by Healthwatch England has found an alarming & clearly dangerous level of inaccuracies in patents' records impacting diagnosis & treatment

Another issue of patient/doctor miscommunication or systemic failure?
