Protecting the NHS isn't just about #COVID

An attempted piecemeal takeover of the NHS by American corporations is happening under our noses, without proper scrutiny

@MattHancock - Our NHS is not for sale, public services are for the public, not for profit https://twitter.com/cllrsarahjames/status/1366749372306907139

Sarah James@cllrsarahjames

North Central London Health and Social Care Leads demand urgent action from @MattHancock to protect our #NHS from predatory take-overs. #Operose #Centene 2

“Just sadness. You can see that in people’s eyes", Nora says of those she meets on her early morning Outreach checks. “It’s really important that we take that weight off people a little bit.”

Listen as Kerry Brennan from Cork Simon explains that because social supports were put in place quickly there was no influx of “new homeless” during first wave Covid.
"The lesson in that is that these are structural issues that structural policy changes can address" #SimonTalks

A day to celebrate Travellers unique identity and place in Irish society and bring a renewed momentum to addressing the damaging impact of marginalisation, exclusion and discrimination.

Today marks 4 years since Traveller ethnicity was rightfully and formally recognised by the State.

I want to restate my commitment to the Traveller community to implement all of the strategic actions within the National Traveller & Roma Inclusion Strategy #TravellerEthnicityDay
