WRN NI, the poor grassroots organisation that can afford to book the Belfast Hilton at €30 / guest minimum, €200 / night for a room, and €20 parking? www.venuescanner.com/gb/venues/be...

Picture of the foyer at the Belfast Hilton. The entire front of the building is glass. There are wall-to-wall marble tiles on the floor. On a brown patterned square of carpet in the centre of the room stands a plinth holding a modern art piece. The upper floor is visible, supported by large cylindrical columns painted cerise. The reception desk is finished in piano black with wood paneling behind. The room is tastefully lit.

Well that went about as well as expected. 🤣

Ok, it's rough, but slightly better than my first attempt 😂

Well this is all kinds of wrong. 🤣

Broke every pledge to LGBT+ Labour (attached). Uncritically adopt flawed science (Cass, Sullivan) despite international criticism. Ignore WESC and JCHR recommendations to appoint Mary-Ann Stephenson as EHRC Chair, and appoint ex-Sex Matters' board member Tim Allen as comms director...

I got distracted. "Move fast and fix things" is most definitely not how the saying goes.

I was thinking the same thing - 134 active companies, so it's not business premises. There's still likely some relationship, but not as direct as it initially seems.

Picture of a ginger cat ("Jones" from the movies) with a small alien in it's mouth. The caption - You still don't understand what you're dealing with, do you? Perfect organism. Its structural perfection is matched only by its hostility.

Not surprising. The elevation of transphobic views has been pretty obvious to most of us for years, but if we raise the issue we're told we're being hysterical, that it's "political", or a "contested issue". In the UK, you can just state this in national newspapers and it's fine, apparently.

“I think what they’re doing here is they’re trying to destroy a gender group,” he added. “And so I do think it’s genocidal. I think that the objective here is literally, physically to destroy this group.”

I wouldn't try this with other cats, but this guy would roll over on the kitchen floor and expect vigorous tummy rubs while purring manically. If I had lay next to him he would have got up and complained! He was one special kitty. I miss him.

A significant majority, 8 months, record feedback from those affected, a multitude of harms, yet no desire to correct legislation to match the original intent of its authors. Your party chose this outcome, embracing the "clarity". I'm sorry, but much as I appreciate the sentiment, it rings hollow.

My selfie quota is decidedly low, I must fix that. 52. When did that happen?

Dear Ms -

I’m sorry it’s taken us longer to reach a finding on your complaint than we led you to expect. We’re currently in discussion with the management of BBC News about the issues raised by your complaint and others on the same subject, and hope to be in a position to finalise our finding soon.

In the meantime I can only ask for your patience and apologise for the delay.

Kind regards

It was a different time for sure. 2018 for me and pre-transition. I have photos of me there. I'm not sharing them.

It just keeps getting better. From: www.gov.uk/government/n...

Under the current system, wealthier patients often have more information about the country’s hospitals and access to better care. The improved NHS App will democratise care, so everyone, including those from working class communities, has the information they need about their conditions or procedures they’re due to go through.

Using artificial intelligence (AI), the new My Companion tool will give patients direct access to trusted health information, so there are always 2 experts in every consulting room - the clinician and the patient. It will help patients articulate their health needs and preferences confidently - providing information about a health condition if they have one, or a procedure if they need one. It will support patients to ask questions, including any they may have forgotten about or felt too embarrassed to raise at an in-person appointment.

Amanda B@belowzero4· Aug 25

In your experience, what impact does patient access to EEA registered prescribers have on the quality of care received?
Positive

How can the quality of patient care received from private providers be strengthened?
Why does it require strengthening and not expanding? This is a leading question. Sufficient controls are already in place, subject to any robust evidence of significant harms. Such evidence, should it ever come to light, should be scientifically robust, unlike the Cass review.

To what extent do you agree or disagree that patients receive appropriate consultation and clinical advice when prescribed or supplied medicines by private providers?
Strongly agree

To what extent do you agree or disagree that patients are routinely monitored by an authorised healthcare professional when prescribed or supplied medicines by private providers?
Strongly agree

If there is anything else you would like to tell us about patient consultation and monitoring when accessing medicines through private providers, please include it here.
Shared care agreements provide an excellent patient-focussed way to prescribe and monitor the safety of patients and such agreements should be encouraged.

In your experience, what patient medical information is relied upon when prescribing privately?
Patient supplied, NHS GP supplied, Core NHS record, Private provider's own records

How effectively is patient medical information shared between NHS and private prescribers, and vice versa?
In my experience, very effectively. Ultimately the patient has a responsibility to ensure that their healthcare providers are informed of any changes to their circumstances, and I have personally completed numerous questionaires when accessing healthcare which I believe proves that providers go to great lengths to ensuring they capture all relevant information prior to treatment.

If there is anything else you would like to tell us about private prescribing data, please include it here.
We should encourage a flexible, patient-centric approach to healthcare. Restrictions are in no-one's interests, except maybe for political reasons. Such justifications cannot be countenanced. This governments continuing culture war on LGBT+ and specifically transgender healthcare is abhorrent. Further encroachment on the freedom of choice for patients should be robustly defended against.

What impacts does private prescribing have on the wider healthcare system?
It helps support a struggling National Health Service. It can only be a good thing for patients.

Please share any additional evidence you would like to contribute regarding the impact of private prescribing on quality of patient care.
Nothing further to add on this subect that hasn't been said in earier answers.

Would you like to upload a contribution of data, research or other reports?
No
