Perhaps @MattHancock could instigate an investigation into how many 'Beths' there are right now right here in the UK.

The UK will forever be remembered as the first to introduce universal healthcare & one of the last to fund it properly. If we’d matched Germany’s GDP contribution just since 2000, we would have put in an extra £620 billion. Imagine how good the NHS would be now #HappyBirthdayNHS

This is exactly what makes us proud of the NHS, and exactly why we wanted to create an anthem to celebrate it

But is LeDeR telling us anything that the CIPOLD report hasn’t already told us? Which begs the question, how many more premature deaths before this is bumped up the agenda and considered important to those at the top? xitter.gq/karachrome/status/1014…
Those of us with experience of learning disability as self-advocates and their family members/friends understand it all too well. It ain't 'medical'. @LearningDisEng @JusticeforLB @justicefornico @HandleyInquest xitter.gq/mtmatmtmmktg/status/10…

I've been enjoying a few days away from twitter waiting for the fraud squad to track me down... I was probably in my garden or at the zoo with friends. I'm sure they'll be back once they've picked @sarasiobhan up, blues and twos all the way #theresnothingquitelikemedicalarrogance xitter.gq/sarasiobhan/status/100…
