“We spend below average on our health service compared to our peers, so it’s not surprising that we have fewer hospital beds, Drs, nurses, MRI/CT scanners. To a certain extent, you get what you pay for.”

Great to work with @KatherineKorner @maizie333 and @petticrewmark to design and run this action research through which we have developed, tested and improved a set of practical materials for local public health teams to run briefing sessions on Commercial Determinants of Health
Proud to endorse a new set of materials for #PublicHealth professionals to introduce colleagues to the issues around commercial determinants of health.
Congratulations @PH__Anna, @KatherineKorner, @maisie333 & @petticrewmark who developed the materials.

How to tackle regional economic inequality in the UK?
With @edballs and @DanTurnerSY, some ideas in a new working paper.
TLDR: (1) STEM skills, (2) better transport for non-London cities, (3) boosts to public-funded R&D outside the South.

The NHS has more funding and more staff than it had pre-pandemic. At the same time, across most types of care, the NHS is treating fewer patients than it was pre-Covid and is clearly struggling heading into the winter.
What's going on? A thread, based on new @TheIFS research 🧵

NHS and care services across Humber and North Yorkshire are under extreme pressure.
People are urged to seek other health services if their condition is not serious or life-threatening. You can support the NHS by choosing the right service when you need it.

Scarlet fever (SF) and invasive Group A Strep (iGAS) infections are higher than usual for this time of year. This will understandably cause worry for patients and parents.
