Can’t believe this is true but I do trust the source ..
HMRC yesterday confirmed workers who have a Coronavirus test from employer as part of their job will see it treated as a 'benefit in kind' and thus be taxed on it (& see take home pay reduced) Delighted to see the Treasury Select Committee are taking this up with the chancellor.

Next year can we all clap for our MP's rather than give them a pay rise?

“It’s only taken six weeks to replace meetings with even more meetings...” Diaries full of back to back zoom/teams meetings without room to think and reflect. Longing for travel to & from meeting-gives head space to prepare, time to process/debrief/do paulitaylor.com/2020/05/08/d…

Some good thinking time yesterday @KJonthepiste about next phase of response and factors that we have to consider - further waves of Covid-19, winter; flu; brexit; delivering essential services; care sector fragility; staff resilience; testing; mass vaccination. Lots to do ....

The response to C-19 has been extraordinary and whilst it’s great that lockdown restrictions are being eased, worry that people don’t recognise that we still responding to +ve cases and our personal responsibility will define how we cope over next few weeks & months.

It’s the NHS’s 72nd birthday on Sunday. The past few months have brought huge change, sorrow and remarkable innovation in equal measure. This video is our tribute to our staff, patients, partners, volunteers, fundraisers, supporters and key workers from all sectors.

His views are in line with a Scottish Minister this morning calling out the divisive approach taken by UK Govt. As citizens of the UK, we deserve better
The First Minister has said dealing with the UK Government has been “utterly shambolic” over its approach to quarantine rules. bit.ly/2C72byn

Thanks Kate - loved the report last night!
Thanks to these wonderful ladies for sharing their experiences. Giving birth an anxious time for anyone but especially during a pandemic. Great access from @SwanseabayNHS & great to see & hear the reality of being a midwife over these last few months
