There is no such thing as “a sick note culture.” There is a record high NHS waiting list, crippling housing costs, widespread food poverty, stagnant wages and inadequate benefit rates, a broken social care system, dire mental health services, and closed Sure Start centres.

Honestly … I despair. How? How can public leaders continue to represent women in this way?

There's no 'sick note culture' only a culture that expects high levels of productivity for low wages & for people to mindlessly grind away as their standards of living & health decline due to the increasingly unaffordable cost of living.

Where is the room for good mental health?
