No I didn’t know that. I should imagine she was one of the first women to be a Freeman.

That’s great news. Many congratulations.

Profits from NHS England eye care outsourcing same as 100 PFI contracts, research finds CHPI thinktank found five firms made an ‘eye-watering’ £169m in 2023-24, as ministers call for contract cap

Staggering profiteering from the 5 main private companies providing cataract removals to the NHS.

£169 million in 2023-24 alone - a profit margin of 32%.

This is taxpayers' money being squandered on private payouts.

Efficiency, @rthonwesstreeting.bsky.social?

The post-Grenfell
#EndOurCladdingScandal continues.

Many leaseholders inc in St Albans were told their homes were safe but now don’t know if they are, as some EWS1 safety forms may have been issued fraudulently.

I’ve secured a meeting with Ministers and want police to investigate

Yesterday - the same day RFK was sworn in as Trump’s Health Sec - the Louisiana Dept of Health’s top official sent a memo announcing the dept would “no longer promote mass vaccination.”

This will kill men, women & especially children.

It’s the triumph of conspiracist madness over science.
