In early 2000’s Foundation Trusts were created to “devolve power away from the centre”. I wonder what happened? ….but I am sure adding the word Advanced will make a huge difference navigator.health.org.uk/theme/first-nh…

We’re entering a democratic crisis. Public support for the govt is at 15% - an all time low. Yet they retain full power over law making and critical matters. This can’t go on. I explained this in the GB News studio this morning

Pleased to share the voices of children at the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill Committee this afternoon. We must be more cautious around assisted dying, especially for vulnerable children inc those with disabilities who face challenges transitioning to adult services.
