Ahead of the UK #Budget2024, I spoke with @AyshahTull on @Channel4News. I explained why we urgently need long-termism in both the public & the private sector investment to drive green growth. The UK ranks lowest in the G7 for public investment & 28th in the OECD for private investment. This isn't just about public spending or subsidies โ it's about directing patient finance to tackle the countryโs biggest challenges.
Amazing eg of doing wrong thing wronger. BS consultants prey on the ignorant. Proposals for council savings are junk. The truth is you can id cost-savings in days and get cracking in weeks.

The NHS and the government have been told to act to prevent future deaths from ME (Myalgic encephalomyelitis) according to a new report from the coroner's office.
The coroner ruled in July that Maeve Boothby O'Neill died from malnutrition caused by severe ME.
It is a national disgrace that the @NHSuk is failing #SevereME#MECFS sufferers, Whilst @@andrewgregory sets out some of the reasons, he fails to state basic psychological needs of sufferers are not being met & being ignored just makes the case worse

For Liz, the inability to communicate combined with a lack of understanding is the hardest part of hospital admissions with #SevereME.
Severe cognitive dysfunction in #MECFS is oft underestimated, and as Liz shares, people are being treated like a nuisance.

ALT Quotation marks with text reading: I have had ME/CFS for 20 years, 11 of those years I have had severe ME/CFS. The hardest part about going to hospital with severe ME/CFS is the brain fog. I can't always answer a lot of the questions with certainty, and I don't always remember details. I get treated like a nuisance when I struggle to remember things and I can't always explain why I can't communicate clearly. I wish staff understood the mental limitations people with this condition can have, not just the physical. Liz - World ME Alliance volunteer. #SevereMEDay.
It's ME/CFS awareness day! let's talk about it๐งต #MECFS
reposts welcome!
Myalgic Encephalomyelitis is a complex & debilitating illness more commonly known as Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. It has no real treatment/cure and is so much more than *just being tired*.

Today (12th May) is International ME Awareness Day.
On this important day, organisations and individuals recognise and support the millions of people world-wide who are affected by ME and other chronic immunological and neurologic diseases by raising public awareness. #MECFS#ME
