Small steps but in the right direction at last. Progress is too slow for people living with #ALS #MND. I hope our increasing understanding of this awful illness will lead to many more positive stories in the coming years. bbc.co.uk/news/health-628511…

Impossible to have a review to find out why COVID adversely affects the BAME community without looking at the role air pollution has when considering the impact on health. We know COVID deaths are far worse in cities that have high air pollution. Govt must get a grip @SarahVAtDSC

Please demand a New Clean Air Act from Govt. 1.1M kids in the UK have asthma, over 150 kids have died from asthma since Ella’s death. In London 1 in 10 kids have asthma & in summer can rise to 1 in 7. Dr Grigg “Air Pollution is equivalent to passive smoking 10 cigarettes daily” – at Lewisham, London

Last weeks devastating asthma death figures are behind most of us unless you are one of the bereaved families. For all who has lost a child the summer holidays are especially long.
