Following the junior doctors’ ballot on industrial action, managers of St helier Hospital have issued a statement on their website.
"We wanted to assure local people that we are working hard to make sure any disruption to services is kept to a minimum, wherever possible. However, patients and visitors to our hospitals should be aware that the BMA have encouraged their junior doctor members to take industrial action from: 8am Tuesday 12 January to 8am Wednesday 13 January 8am Tuesday 26 January to 8am Thursday 28 January 8am to 5pm on Wednesday 10 February. Police in Sutton are appealing for witnesses and information after a linked series of sexual assaults. Officers are investigating three offences which they believe have been carried out by the same man.
The first incident happened on Thursday, 7 January, around 19:00hrs. A 34-year-old woman was walking along North Street, Carshalton, towards the Sun pub. Police have arrested a 45-year-old man in connection with three offences of obtaining money for building work not carried out on the home of an 84-year-old female resident of Cotswold Road, Sutton.
Officers from Sutton's pro-active crime squad stopped a white van in Beddington Farm Road, Croydon, on Thursday, 7 January, at 07:45hrs. Carshalton and Wallington MP Tom Brake has accused the government of letting down some of the most vulnerable people with mental health problems when it comes to hardship payments. The government has agreed to "consider" extending the definition of "at risk" groups.
At the moment, the Government considers physical health when defining a person as vulnerable. This means that people with mental health conditions or who are homeless cannot be classified as vulnerable and will struggle to qualify for hardship payments. These are available to support people without food or housing. The Government responded to Tom saying it “will consider extending the definition of ‘at risk’ groups for hardship payment purposes to include those with mental health conditions and those who are homeless”. “Hardship payments can be a lifeline to individuals who struggle with paying for accommodation, heating and hygiene needs," said MP Tom Brake. "Mental illnesses can be socially, economically, intellectually, mentally and physically disabling and that’s why I’m calling on the Government to extend the hardship fund to be available for individuals who suffer from mental health conditions. "I was very proud that in Government, we wrote mental health equality into law, introducing the first ever waiting time standards in mental health.”
