“The people who work in the [legal aid] sector at the moment will place their own wellbeing to one side because of their personal commitment to the clients who need help.
The number of lawyers willing to do that are reducing weekly.”

Dear 🇬🇧,
As we approach the NHS 75th anniversary, here's your reminder that 10 years ago, it was ranked the #1 healthcare system on Earth. You don't need a new system. You need a new govt that won't intentionally destroy it for their own financial benefit.
#SOSNHS #NHS75
ALT A chart from the Commonwealth Fund 2014 "Mirror Mirror" report ranking healthcare systems among wealthy nations. The UK ranked 1 in nearly every category, including overall ranking. It delivered the best care for the least amount of money, beating every other wealthy nation. We don't need a new healthcare system. We need a new government that will care about it.

The MOJ is ignoring community care in the civil legal aid review. The number of community care cases taken on by legal aid lawyers has dropped by 77% since 2010, despite helplines experiencing a 100% increase in calls. Yet another Gov scandal on social care.
🎙 Ep5 of the State of Our Nation podcast is here!
@KGerstheimer is joined by @ChrisLAPG (CEO of Legal Aid Practitioners Group) and Lainey Gough (Director of Operations and Impact at @AccessCharity1) to discuss Legal Aid and Community Care.

I wrote for the @ukcla blog about whether the Government is under a legal duty to order an independent judicial inquiry into the mass #trafficking of unaccompanied asylum seeking children from Home Office run hotels.
tl;dr: yes. Yes it is.
