Almost 7 in 10 (67%) respondents to an RCN survey said they're delivering care in over-crowded or unsuitable places

Air pollution has dropped significantly in #Paris in the last 15 years. Mayor @annehidalgo.bsky.social’s leadership has traded car space for green space, safe bike space, kid space.. and traded pollution for people. Good trade.

This #poverty is the most fundamentally important determinant of health and in the case of our children their future life chances .. this should be the government’s number one #publichealth priority if we’re serious about reducing health inequalities.. needs action not rhetoric!
