"...Several #UN agencies have been clear that UNRWA is irreplaceable, particularly in #Gaza; without it, many more #Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank will be subjected to #death, disablement, #malnutrition, and the deprivation of access to essential water, food, #health, education, and protection programmes..."

For critics the problem has been both how such PAs have been presented to patients, and a stretching of the remit beyond a level that doctors think is medically safe.

What's really changed isn''t the proportion of the young who are out of work, which has remained relatively stable, but rather the reason they say they are not in work.
As he puts it, 'people who were already not in work [are] starting to evaluate that or frame that through the lens of their mental health'.
If correct, does that suggest a recognition that it was always this?

Anybody who can be convinced that something is true against evidence otherwise is wide open to being convinced regarding denialism — of anything. HIV/AIDS, COVID, transgender, sexism, racism, etc.
Which is why political efforts to defeat denialism will never work. The only way to defeat it is through education, from kindergarten up. All age groups, all the time.

Doctors in emergency medicine are sure it will, but Labour will argue its not had time to 'fix' the NHS to prevent or reduce the strains on healthcare across the winter.
The difficulty Labor may have, however, is having voted for a party claiming it could rescue the NHS from its ongoing troubles, voters may well expect more immediate results.... and the right wing press will be making a lot of that disconnect!

Time is of the essence: #effectiveness of dairy #farm #control of #H5N1 is limited by fast spread
Source: BioRxIV, https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2024.11.15.623774v1?rss=1
Abstract
The emergence and growth of highly pathogenic avian influenza(HPAI) A(H5N1) in dairy cows poses a growing threat for both the food supply and onward zoonosis to humans. Despite ongoing surveillance and control measures recommended by animal and public health authorities to limit viral spread, new herds continue to report infections. We show here that the continued spread between farms could be explained by the rapid pace of pathogen spread reported within farms, which greatly limits the potential effectiveness of these recommendations. Under reasonable surveillance strategies, we show that the time farms have to mobilize interventions is extremely limited, as few as a couple days and typically less than a week. Our findings suggest that passive surveillance measures, such as detection of H5N1 via weekly bulk milk testing, comes too late such that most infections have already occurred. For current interventions to be valuable, more sensitive and extensive surveillance is needed and an emphasis should be placed on biosecurity practices rather than reactive practices.

New research has now put a figure on that damage: £268bn a year - made up of costs to the NHS, the costs of food-related illness & death and other welfare/benefits related costs.
Previous Govt.s however have been relatively reticent about trying to really constrain Big Food & nothings suggests Labour will be different.

«Wer tote Wasser-, Raben- oder Greifvögel findet, sollte den Fund der zuständigen Veterinär- und Lebensmittelaufsicht des Bezirks melden, damit eine Untersuchung veranlasst werden kann.» Kranke oder verendete Tiere sollten auf keinen Fall angefasst & Federn nicht gesammelt werden.

Less experienced staff can be slower to diagnose & may (often rightly) seek further tests. This isn't a problem individually but overall can slow down heath care.

Its just what a workforce already patterned by overwork, exhaustion & burnout, does not need.
With the NHS already losing staff as fast as it can train & recruit them, this just looks like one more body blow intended to strengthen the appeal of the private sector...
not so much a 'solution' as a further attack.
