My thoughts on what good transformation looks like for public services innercircleconsulting.co.uk/2023/05/transf…


"Increase in life expectancy slowing down", and scientists should focus more on how we live healthier rather than longer from the Times; but no words on the huge inequality which has widened over the last decade. That feels like a good starting point? thetimes.com/uk/science/art…

'she would institute “guardrails” to ensure public money was well-spent on sensible investments' Vital these allow for investment in public service reform. Evidence is clear: prevention improves lives & unlocks long-term fiscal sustainability 1/2 ft.com/content/5b9ec4…

Today we’ve launched our long read outlining what we think the government's 10-year health plan should focus on to help the #NHS do more to tackle #HealthInequalities. Here @swoolnough gives an overview of this work - read the piece in full here: kingsfund.org.uk/insight-and-an…


Reminded of the lovely kids book by @AgentPenfold today "All Are Welcome".... "Our strength is our diversity , our shelter from adversity.... " @Joanne75635745

On the day of the Kings Speech the initial stance of the new government is becoming clear: competence and professionalism: a methodical discovery, unpicking and communication of their inheritance, and growth at the heart of their legislative agenda 🧵


We may not have made it all the way last night but to the pizza-making, face-painting, macarena-dancing, john-barnes-singing residents of my street, who knew all these talents existed ? #community #Streetparty

.@publicnaylor @ICClimited says his intuitively simple vision is for a neighbourhood-based preventative state – and it could be a flagship first-term deliverable for government. ⬇️⬇️ themj.co.uk/Helping-folk-s…

If there was ever a business case for #prevention to avert #crisis it is this one from @HealthFdn covered by @guardian . But as ever, not just an #NHS problem and the solution starts in communities and focuses on social determinants of health

7 yo school reading book is "A community cares and shares". Complete with examples of community action. Love to see it.. even if it is an Australian-published book from 10 years ago


Huge respect to the teachers battling to keep families the right side of coping as illustrated in the guardian today. When it comes to #Prevention directing practical support & resources towards schools with high levels of poverty must be high up the list!

GREAT. Leadership and capacity to understand what needs to change -how- & plot, manage & govern implementation. Foundations for reform. Almost everything that matters cant be delivered down the management line of our existing professional departments ft.com/content/790396…

CONFIRMED @UKLabour manifesto has committed to tackling #HealthInequalities through restoring the building blocks of health. It acknowledges the gap *within* communities (not just between regions).

So good.

We’re at the @Demos office today to discuss @publicnaylor’s new essay titled “Only We Can Save the State”: Lessons for national government from public service reform in Barking and Dagenham. Read it here: demos.co.uk/research/only-…

So much for local leaders to digest in this paper from @publicnaylor "Be bold because noone is coming to the rescue"

Big challenging problems need big challenging solutions. Pretending issues are not interdependent, or fixed by one policy paper, wont work. Let's stop trying to minimise what frightens us and face up to the task. My plan for that👇Bold can be progressive demos.co.uk/research/only-…

Only We Can Save The State - my formula for transforming and reviving government by learning from local innovators - is published by Demos next week. Please come along and share your thoughts too. A new start takes all of us! Thank you

"There needs to be a renewed focus on housing as a public health intervention" ( and its not just health - time and time again poor housing at root of public #crisis responses - ASB, Homelessness, children in care, crime .... ) newstatesman.com/spotlight/heal…


An unhappy report on how shockingly common birth trauma is, and how unequal experiences are. Let's add this to the pile of evidence mounting for better, more equitable early support for parents and families. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…
