Let's hope that the assisted dying bill will now open more conversations about how we die. Improvement in care is not always costly. When I worked overnight just 3 nurses covering a county we responded quickly to palliative needs Reduce that to 1 nurse, suddenly response is awful.

After the floods both local authorities worked to create a water capture scheme with lagoons that slow and hold flood water.

My sympathies are with all of those impacted by #StormBert. I am receiving regular updates on the response to the flooding.

I urge people to check their flood risk and sign up for flood warnings.

My thanks to EA and emergency responders. We will continue to work tirelessly to protect communities.

Some are non profit organisations. Social enterprises ect. Maybe that would be a better model.

An unrealistic view of what care homes do. The reality is complex care , many with behavioural psychiatric symptoms of dementia. At risk of falls, multiple health problems. Often needing 1 to 1 care to be safe. Local authority funding just Β£500 per week. Royal commission needed and cross party plan.

Listening to COVID enquiry. The focus on hospital care and no mention of all those CV patients dying in the community cared for by District nurses. We needed competence in gov, and we got Matt Hancock.

The gate was at the piece hall entrance. The Lloyds bank is amazing, well worth a look at the ornate decor.

Victorian town architecture is so impressive and grand. Loved my day out in #Halifax

I've seen as many people die as Midwives see into this world. 40 years experience in palliative care. I've applied the proposed law to all memorable patients I've cared for. Undecided previously butniw reflecting on all the complex cases, all would have been protected by this proposed legislation.
