- Aaaargh. As @deevybee.bsky.social just said: we don't want the NHS to be "exciting" for heaven's sake. It would just be nice if, when I go to A&E with a crucial emergency, they have the capacity to provide emergency dialysis so I don't die.
- Ministers push to improve draft marketing plan for NHS in England: “Ministers have asked for more work to be done on the government’s draft 10-year plan for the NHS in England, amid claims it lacks policies exciting enough to resonate with the British public” on.ft.com/4m9JHil
- My Dad was blue lighted into hospital with a severe stroke 9 weeks ago. There he was treated with skill and consummate professionalism by a team of highly skilled professionals, and since then the care he’s received has been exemplary.

- Be interesting to see if BBC North West has a dedicated reporter permanently standing outside BAE’s factory in Barrow in Furness…

Think that speaks volumes about the mess we are in.
