The NHS spent billions settling claims for poor care last year with the bill continuing to climb. Ongoing failings in maternity care are devastating for families and costly, with babies left needing lifelong care. @BirthTrauma

After last week's issue, we were contacted by several women who said they had been swooped at by the Gospel Oak crow. Reporter Anna Lamche went to Mansfield Road yesterday with her phone camera and within seconds... this is what happened:

£630 MILLION of public money on taxis and private ambulances in the last 5 years! 13 years of Tory mismanagement has left taxpayers paying more but patients waiting longer. Every pound the Conservatives waste means less for staff and worse services for patients.

EXC: The NHS spent £400k a day on private ambulances and taxis for patients last year as staff shortages and increased demand forced trusts to draft in private companies.

Spending on private ambulances shot up 62% in the last three years with some ambulance trusts more than doubling their spending. Last year’s total bill came to £145million and could have paid the salaries of more than 3,100 ambulance staff.

@wesstreeting slammed the spending saying: ‘Under the Conservatives, the NHS is forced to chuck ever greater sums of money at taxi firms and private ambulances, because ambulance services simply cannot cope.’

I'm glad my PIP debate was in the papers this week @ImStanley. The ordeal suffered by women with PIP implants must be heard. @DailyMailUK this is a clear case of women's suffering being explained away, ignored for a decade. dailymail.co.uk/news/article… @SarahChampionMP @PIPActionA – at Merton, London

EXC: An estimated 500,000 Brits are using steroids - some as young as 16. Pressure to live up to impossible body standards is driving young men to buy the drugs illegally online, without knowing the dangerous side effects. Full investigation here: mailplus.co.uk/edition/news/…

EXC: A child was hospitalised every 20 minutes on average last year after self-harming with drugs or alcohol. Experts warn the self-harm is ‘contagious’ with children copying what they see on social media. But lockdowns and poor mental health care are also driving up cases.

Amazing research by @conky_k
Searching for the simple words "women's football" on YouTube yields a ton of results about "hilarious moments", "fails" and videos of players getting slapped on the bum. Search for "men's football" and you'll see videos celebrating impressive goals and manoeuvres. 🧵

The Trib is hosting a panel to identify actionable steps to reduce violence against women in Islington - we’ll create a list and then check whether they actually get done. Come along and have your say, limited tickets here:
Following the death of Sabita Thanwani last month, the Tribune published a special report asking: "What do we do now"? On Tuesday, we will be hosting Islington's summit on violence against women and girls in an attempt to answer that question. eventbrite.co.uk/e/violence-…

Another day, another police raid on a homeless shelter (in a squat) - 30 rough sleepers back on the street with no where to go

No advice on where they can sleep, no mental health support - apparently one heavily pregnant woman was living here - police just telling them to move on
