For those trying to get their head around any of this Health & Social Care Bill and why it is an issue, I am trying to make sense of it.
#ScrapNHSBill
I do trust the judgement of the folk who object but also feel I should try to read & analyse at least some of the Bill myself. (Although who has time to do this with all of politics in reality?)
But anyway...

So what you need to look at for reference (if you want to see where the changes of note are occurring) is...
Firstly, the original National Health Service Act 2006 with the 2012 updates included.

@apsmunro @nearlytoolate I'm sorry. I don't really understand what your point is here.
I've just pulled off the ONS data on COVID deaths (on the death certificate) in 2021 so far. I think I counted 48 child deaths (<19 as they report) up to last week.
Does that sound correct?
ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulati… @apsmunro @nearlytoolate (by <19 I mean </=19 years... not sure why all the data is including that age, but we have to work within the limits of what we have, I guess)

So yeah.

In bed with the so called medical freedom folk & UsForThem.
Here may well be the reason why we aren't seeing sensible mitigations in schools.
No wonder COVID is ripping through schools.

The high COVID case rates currently in this country (and consequent 1000 admissions a day / 1000 deaths a week) are unquestionably partly due to this ridiculous push to let COVID rip unabated through schools.
I am livid that this agenda has been allowed to influence UK policy.
