Quite incredible that hospital admissions for malnutrition, scarlet fever & whooping cough are soaring - in the world's 6th richest country, in 2019. Meanwhile, the govt has just slashed the public health budget by another £85 million. So very callous.https://www.theguardian.com/society/2019/feb/02/dickensian-diseases-gout-whooping-cough-and-scarlet-fever-on-rise …

Rather unfair to tag these to austerity. Likewise gout is hardly an illness of austerity. We both know this. Feeding the frenzy isn't right.
