Why is the entire focus on hospital discharge, affecting c.13k people, when there are 542k people in the community waiting for assessment & care?
Evidence shows that cutting social care results in more people turning up to A&E.

I can’t tell you just how relieved I am to see Oliver’s training being rolled out across England. Staff will now be given the skills they need to support autistic people and those who have a learning disability. Please retweet far and wide x
The Oliver McGowan Mandatory Training on Learning Disability and Autism has been launched. This is a vital step in ensuring we provide a voice for those who are not always heard.

Adult social care is far from fixed.
Without action to prioritise care & support in people’s homes & communities, it will take years, not months, to fully recover. Our infographic shows a visual snapshot of the devastating situation > bit.ly/3wspXh1

Rising fuel costs & impact on homecare.
Findings of a new survey from @homecareassn
TL;DR Many homecare workers can’t afford to put fuel in their cars, so they’re leaving. This is bad for older & disabled people who need care & support /1

This is Ukraine.
At a handshake distance. @BorisJohnson and @ZelenskyyUa walked through the center of Kyiv and talked to ordinary Kyivans. This is what democracy looks like. This is what courage looks like. This is what true friendship between peoples and between nations looks like.

The cost of all 1.6 million careworkers being tested every day is substantial, even allowing for govt purchasing power. Govt refused access to asymptomatic routine tests for homecare in 2020 when we had no vaccines and only patchy supplies of PPE 🤷♀️
