Schools
One in four teachers brought food into classrooms to feed hungrychildren during the summer term. This rose to 31%in poorer areas,according to the charity Fare-Share, which campaigns against food waste.They said that many schools were changing from breakfast clubs tosupplying parents from food banks and other services. ---- The teachers'union NEU stated that its surveys had found that most teachers areproviding free breakfasts and extra food during the day, eitherpersonally or through schools.HealthAround 121,000 people died in 2022 whilst waiting for treatment from theNational Health Service. This is the highest death count in the wholehistory of the NHS. It is double the 60,000 who died in 2017-18. Itincludes 40,000 who had waited for more than 18 weeks.Under the NHS constitution treatment for non-urgent conditions was 18weeks. Two in five of those on NHS waiting lists now face longer than 18weeks wait.All of these figures show how underfunding and privatisation by bothLabour and Tory governments over the last decades have led to a massiveerosion of the NHS. This amounts to a form of murder against workingpeople, who are spending their last months of life in agony and discomfort.https://www.anarchistcommunism.org/2023/09/08/this-septic-isle-2/_________________________________________A - I N F O S N E W S S E R V I C EBy, For, and About AnarchistsSend news reports to A-infos-en mailing listA-infos-en@ainfos.ca
