resources and obviously the nhs are not happy about this.many things that come up in terms of the actual stuff itself, the botox, whatever it is, you can only get on prescription if you can only get on prescription if you are a medic but there is a black—market of it as well that is widely accessed and used in the uk and anywhere else. do you want the industry to be regulated? yes, and it would have been sooner, because with the pip implant scandal, bruce keogh looked at the guidelines but it's obviously not on the priority with other things going on so it's a lwa ys with other things going on so it's always been on the back burner. but it definitely needs to be regulated formal career path or training path created so anyone can operate a training company, you canjust do a course and within a month they can train other people and in terms of level seven, a formal qualification, there is no formal qualification that you need to do it, so you could just go on a one—day course and after that one day course treat patients. howell, therefore, do

i think something like this is vital for the nhs workers.y together here in newham and also makes us all excited because this doesn't actually happen. hospitals across the capital can expect more of these school parcels before ramadan comes to an end next week. for asma, this is all about saying thank you. i am so indebted to the nhs. i think they are amazing people. i want them to know that i am grateful for who they are. monika plaha, bbc news. the night sky in guiyang, the capital city of southwest china‘s guizhou province, has been a little bit brighter since friday as 526 drones light up the night sky. the performance is part of the ongoing china international big data industry expo 2019 which kicked off on sunday and will close on may 29. the drones, equipped with colorful lights rose up to the sky and aligned into different patterns, animations and 3d designs corresponding to the theme of the expo "innovative development, digital future". the drone performances will last till may 31. that‘s spectacular, isn‘t it? beautiful. i tell you

best practice, and nhs cuts. and it is more about long-term plans for the national health service. and improving social care, providing for people in their old age. >> the primus there has her head in the sand. the reality is $7 billion is cut from social care since 2010. a system on the brink of collapse as care companies go through administration and the stress on residents, unbelievable. we need a serious strategy. it ensures people get the social care they need when they need it. under this government things getting worse too. violent crime is up by 19%. robberies up by 18%. and 2.3 million criminal investigations close because the police were unable to identify a suspect because there has been insufficient staff to do it. that the primus or accept there is a violent crime epidemic. and tearing our communities apart. it has to be addressed by investment in our communities. >> can i say to the right honorable gentlemen, in relation to care. the suggestion this is a worrying time with provisions provided by those care companies. it is a concerning time for them and their families

nhs england says this is often because of practices merging. me now. dr kamlana, from your surgery, how do you see the effects of this? we have a real strain on general practice nationally at the moment. within my surgery, patients often wait several weeks for an appointment, and this is obviously putting a strain on other services like amd. and what you put the strain down to? what is causing it? we have had years of cuts and closures affecting not just we have had years of cuts and closures affecting notjust general practice but also district general hospitals. it is part of a wider plan by nhs england too, as they say, improve community care, but the problem there is if you cut in real terms funding to primary care services, we are not in a position to ta ke services, we are not in a position to take on the stated 30 million extra patients from secondary care to primary care. when you say secondary care and primary care, gp surgeries are primary care? and secondary care at hospitals? that's right, yes. so when you say some patients are havin

and will finish with the times, the nhs is to begina finish with the times, the nhs is to begin a global recruitment drive for tens of thousands of foreign nurses over the next five years. health chiefs admitting they are failing to plan for elderly care. that is a quick look through some of those front pages. let's take a closer look, john and ruth. we'll start with the story of the day, a certain baby. fleet street is rejoicing and not just because it's baby. fleet street is rejoicing and notjust because it's not brexit on the front page. a royal baby is manna from heaven. i'm looking at the daily mirror, pages two to ii covering the story. is there anything else in the paper? what struck us looking at these pages is it feels like a thoroughly raw modern birth, prince harry, this little thing is absolutely to die for, using language she would not expect a royalty use, him looking slightly phased, dazed, knackered, and overjoyed as well. and that kind of personal touch that i doubt he's keeping it real. it feels very modern. i wasjust going to say that. they come across as a modern coup

it is not available on the nhs. importantly, it is not available on the nhs.unch of 65 roses. what was the significance of that? that comes from very young children, when young children to cystic fibrosis they often say 65 roses. but there are many often say 65 roses. but there are ma ny letters often say 65 roses. but there are many letters from all across the country, with him was the chief executive of the cystic fibrosis trust. we are here to mark a year since the payments recalled for the speedy resolution of the negotiations the government and the pharmaceutical companies to make a life changing drug available for people with cystic fibrosis. and this marks three and a half years since the drug has been available but not paid for by the nhs. therefore, people with cystic fibrosis, a condition where people deteriorate over time, have not able to get access to this drug orkambi. now what would orkambi mean for harriet? it would mean everything. it would certainly mean everything to her mother, who is campaigning and has been for three years to get this dru

there are currently around 40000 vacant nhs nursing posts in england.ed to increasing the number of nurses in training by 25 per cent. the government must invest in nurse education. we have 40,000 vacancies at the moment and it is not sustainable. we need them to invest in the education so we can have more people trained as nurses. a power failure that affected fuel supply at manchester airport has caused dozens of flights to be cancelled. problems began on sunday afternoon and were not resolved until 3am this morning. 87 flights were cancelled while others faced long delays. a spokesperson said "most scheduled flights" would operate as planned today. spoiler alert for all game of thrones fans! after 8 seasons, one of the most talked about tv shows, has come to an end. fans have complained about plot lines in the last series but that's unlikely to stop it from being a ratingsjuggernaut. our los angeles correspondent, sophie long, has been at a watch party where the 80 minute finale aired a few hours ago. this goes beyond loyalty. there is no question th

nhs england rejects the figures.for me — that is excellent. every year, millions of people are treated by their local gp. but over the past year, the nhs has lost more than 400 fully qualified gps in england and surgery closures across the uk are at an all—time high. according to new figures released by the medical magazine pulse, in 2013, just 18 surgeries shut across the uk. by last year, that number had increased to 138. nhs england, which runs the health service, said it refuted the pulse figures. according to their data, which only covers the past financial year, it had seen fewer closures and patient dispersals. let's just lift this over your hand. the investigation also revealed that gps felt that increasing workloads and recruitment difficulties meant practices were often forced to close as a last resort. how can we help today? speaking earlier this month to the bbc, dr carmel boyhan irvine, who works in plymouth, said something has to change. there is a crisis in general practice, it is very real, it is the
