    Some initial thoughts from : Shannon - it’s important for people to be involved with decisions from the beginning, then responsibility for them is shared

    At this morning, asked a great question about linking with spending and human impact. Here's a terrible, timely example from UK choice to cut tax/GDP, and with it health spending.

    This is stunning. ONS stats show a shocking 10,000 excess deaths in the first 6 weeks of 2018 - when the NHS was in understaffed, underbedded, underfunded winter meltdown. (Note, this excludes flu deaths.) Ten thousand. Lives. Lost. Unnecessarily.
