'Not 1 of those run-of-the-mill, everyday type of illnesses that sort of come & go, this has lingered & effects have lingered & gotten worse when on the ice & asserting himself”

NHS Confederation Chair Victor Adebowale on Question Time:
Q.Does Britain have a sick note culture?
A. No… It’s cruel…2m people have #LongCovid , a recognised illness as a result of #Covid …very rarely met someone who doesn’t want to work… We need to stop using performative language.”

New ONS data on Long Covid show that it is getting worse, not better
Now 2m people in England and Scotland, compared with 1.9m in the whole of UK in Mar 23
The pandemic is not over and every day someone contracts an infection which will disable them

BBC: “To get people off long-term sick leave the government is 'providing the NHS with record funding of nearly £165bn a year by the end of this Parliament'”.

How about we have a few £bn invested in research to #CureLongCovid … just saying.

“Britain does not have a “sicknote culture”. It has a record-high NHS waiting list, widespread food poverty, stagnant wages, low benefit rates, crippling housing costs, a broken social-care system, poor #LongCovid support and inadequate mental-health services.”

#CureLongCovid

So Victoria Atkins, you do know about #LongCovid & mounting evidence pointing to pathophysiology eg viral remnants, endothelial damage, immune dysregulation, micro-clots etc? How about significant funding for treatment trials/to find a cure? A glaringly obvious thing to do!

“The apathy demonstrated by authorities at all levels towards a debilitating condition that has impacted as many as 10% of the population is as reprehensible as the negligent approach that permitted the widespread transmission of #COVID19 ”

“Why Is Everyone Sick?” Says Baffled Man Who Paid For Everyone To Have A Meal Out During An Airborne Pandemic.

Also many people disabled through illness only able to work greatly reduced hours with much reduced income but don’t claim benefits. Damage caused by Tories’ utter incompetence & negligence is destroying the country & a vast number of people’s lives.

This is weapons grade gaslighting from the man who’s government have been responsible for huge deterioration in the health of the general public.

Rishi Sunak wants to ban our GPs from being able to sign us off when we're sick! Sign the petition now and demand these dangerous new plans are dropped. 38d.gs/ie_a

🚨 From our Trustee Danny Altmann - full quote attached:

“Stigmatising the long term disabled with terms such as ‘sicknote culture’ might be taken to indicate a lack of insight into the seriousness of this situation”

Another superb interview Binita Kane!

Just listened to the first 12 mins (so far). Here Robin McNelis Physiotherapy explains how he was a pretty good runner pre- #COVID19 but that now, walking up even a tiny uphill slope, his body switches from aerobic respiration.
