we know you cannot fix the nhs without valuing family carers. fix care, you fix the nhs.ssionals, better paid. more support for family carers, so people can cope better looking after loved ones. these are low—tech, affordable ways to save our nhs, investing in care. so people can be discharged more quickly or don't need hospital care in the first place. so pressure on overstretched hospitals can be reduced. so patients are not stuck for hours waiting to be seen in a&e. so ambulances are not stuck for hours waiting outside a&e to hand over patients. it is all connected. 0ur over patients. it is all connected. our plan for social care and family care is a central part of our plan for the future health service. applause and remember, in turn, help and care both are key parts of our plan for the economy. the conservatives broke our economy with their carelessness, liberal democrats will fix our economy with care. applause now, as we make our pitch to people, we need to show such real changes possible. we need to restore hope. when you look at the harm these conservatives have

alfie's family get his cannabis on the nhs.was the very first child in the country to be given it. without the cannabis, we'd be in hospital in a few days with hundreds of seizures, needing to load him with rescue medications to stop his seizures. and it is terrifying. alfie hasn't had a seizure for over three years, so alfie hasn't been in hospital for over four years. he was costing the nhs anything between £150,000 and £200,000 a year. and he's not now. many people watching this will think you're giving your child something that will get him high, that we know can induce psychosis. what do you say to that? i would say that that's a massive lack of education because my son has been high on anti—epileptics, he's been completely off his head on pharmaceutical drugs. he's never been high on cannabis. so, i'm dr david mccormick, i| am a consultant paediatrician, and we're in king's- college hospital, london. and you can prescribe cannabis? i can prescribe one cannabis derived medical product - to treat epilepsy in children. david

nhs england suggests support should be provided locally.essant last year. rachel schraer has this report. phone rings. good afternoon, bristol tranquiliser project. this is the bristol tranquiliser project. despite its name, the helpline takes calls from people all over the uk who are struggling to come off prescription drugs. and half of those calls are from people on antidepressants. it's the only nhs—funded phone support service in england to do this. what usually happens is, by the time people have come to us, they have exhausted the medical profession. they are in extreme distress. symptoms of withdrawal can include an increase in psychological distress, as well as physical symptoms like dizziness, fatigue and shaking. earlier this year, jane spoke to bbc panorama. she'd been told the helpline's nhs funding was being withdrawn. it will close at the end of september. 8 million adults now take an antidepressant in england. as many as one in four of them might experience noticeable withdrawal symptoms. in recent years, the nhs and other h

the nhs is in the process of opening up the nhs is in the process of opening up 5000 extra hospital bedse at least 10,000 virtual beds which involve the remote monitoring of patients with conditions such as respiratory and heart problems to keep them out of hospital. but i think what nhs leaders will be saying to ministers very clearly is that they must sort out the doctor strikes. next week will see junior doctors and consultants walk out together for the first time in the history of the nhs, and they will repeat that in october. i think longer term the nhs leaders will also be saying we need to find a solution, reform social care. this is support in people's homes for daily tasks like washing, dressing and eating. a lack of access to that means vulnerable and frail people are struggling to live independently and are more likely to end up in hospital, and when they end up in hospital, and when they end up in hospital, and when they end up in hospital it is harder to get them discharged. fix, end up in hospital it is harder to get them discharged.— end up in hospital it is harder to get t

the nhs is warped.an resources culture puts the wellbeing of staff above the safety of patients . above the safety of patients. but before that we had the nottingham maternity scandal, which the independent midwife leading the investigation said families were simply not listened to and pushed away. this is a key point. not listening to families pushing them away. back in 2021, there was the young 13 year old girl who died from sepsis after king's college, london hospital staff failed to identify and properly treat the case and failed to listen to the parents who were increasingly concerned. there was also the shrewsbury and telford maternity scandal in which many babies suffered brain damage or died and mothers were left to take the blame . once left to take the blame. once again, not listening to the patient and their immediate families . if patient and their immediate families. if we look back at history, there are other horrifying cases the harold shipman case, the serial killer who murdered roughly

this is another part of the nhs that's under a lot of pressure.ing that things will soon turn a corner. it's one of the uk's most popular birdwatching sites but, in recent years, rising sea levels and storm surges have put a crucial freshwater habitat in norfolk at risk. now, work has begun to stop the cley and salthouse marshes from being lost to the north sea, as debbie tubby reports. this heavy machinery is working to protect the wildlife that lives and relies on this internationally—important nature reserve, famous for its freshwater habitats. but now, it's a race against time to stop it being flooded by the sea. it's one of the first points that birds actually come across on their migration. it's the first bit of land they see. so they want to come here. they want to get a rest, feed, drink. and also we've got lots of internationally and european rare species on this unique side. —— site. this is the cut, a special flood drain which helps remove saltwater from the reserve. but recent storms moved the shingle bank and blocked it. so now along

so some of that five billion will be clawed back and help our nhs and help our care homes.rs guild says it's come to an agreement — albeit a tentative one. the strike began back in may and has cost the california economy billions of dollars. but there's no sign of a resolution yet of the dispute with actors — which has brought a large part of the british film industry to a halt. here's david sillito. hey, barbie. barbie — could there be anything more american? and yet it was largely made in the uk. the same goes for marvel�*s the avengers. dracarys. and also game of thrones. britain's studios are a major part of the hollywood production line, and the current strikes have shut down production on both sides of the atlantic. the union bectu says half its freelancers are now out of work. and for people like riz, here on the right, who develops camera technology... we did a lot of r&d on star wars: rogue one with our technologies. ..the contrast between 2022 and 2023 is stark. we had a boom and it was insane. everyone was busy, and now, because of the strikes, it's come to anoth

end nhs strikes.18 months — and said that industrial action was the main reason for today's figures. well, the 52—week waits overall are just slightly down from where they were at the start of the year. and there are some areas which have already eliminated their 52—week waits, if i think of of maidstone or calderdale, for example. so, so it's variable. but i absolutely because of the industrial action, the overall volume of people waiting on the waiting lists is a significant challenge. and that's why we're investing more in our winter preparation. it's why we're investing more in our diagnostic capacity. here's our health correspondentjim reed. a big political issue across the uk, but particularly in england at the moment, because one of rishi sunak, the prime minister's big pledges, is to start to reduce waiting lists in england. the overall waiting list, as you just outlined, really clearly keeps going up at the moment. so 7.7 million people are waiting for what's called consultant—led treatment.
