Social care provides independence, dignity, improved mental and physical well-being for millions of elderly and people who have a disability. The ROI for ยฃ1 invested in social care in England, is ยฃ2.36 in socioeconomic benefits. #ValueSocialCare #ProvidersUnite #StrongerTogether

Social care saves the NHS money; every ยฃ100 spent on social care reduces NHS spending by ยฃ35. @cpvnel #ValueSocialCare #ProvidersUnite #StrongerTogether

If social care didnโ€™t exist, the wider economy will suffer. The sector supports many more jobs indirectly through supply chains and local economies. #ValueSocialCare #ProvidersUnite #StrongerTogether

I am just a GP wondering why there is no acute respiratory hub? Our entire capacity today was taken up with respiratory infections within minutes. Minutes! Meanwhile we have unemployed GPs who would love to see patients.

This is a horrendous situation and disturbing thread to read. My thoughts with Jane, Cat and her family. Sadly other than potential legal action it's very tough to know what can be done. It is possible to try to raise emergency situation with Ombudsman but that's unlikely to resolve much at the speed needed. Hopefully the publicity a situation like this can and should get will put pressure on the insurer to review its decision.
1. I donโ€™t often tweet about my personal life, but on 1st November, my mum Jane was hit by a large vehicle as a pedestrian in St. Louis, USA. She suffered a severe brain injury & remains in a coma in hospital. Here's Jane & me in happier times.

25. I'd be grateful if my followers / contacts in the areas of journalism, capacity law and disability rights could please re-tweet. [P.s if you've been in contact with me professionally over the past few weeks, this is the reason for my out of office. Thanks โค๏ธ]
