Did you mean british heard foundation?
Carol Mochan: ...is not as good as it could be. Unfortunately, Scotland trails behind England in terms of funding, and is devoting a third less per head of the population to clinical research of that kind. The British Heart Foundation estimates that without charitable funding the Government and other public bodies would need to increase direct funding by 73 per cent to make up for that shortfall. That does...
Maria Caulfield: NHS England and NHS Improvement, the British Heart Foundation, the Resuscitation Council UK and the Association of Ambulance Chief Executives have developed The Circuit, a national defibrillator network which will register defibrillators in the United Kingdom. This will assist ambulance services to identify the nearest defibrillator at the time of an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest.
Sandesh Gulhane: Suffering an out-of-hospital heart attack has a very bad survival rate, but use of a defibrillator can save lives. I am sure that the cabinet secretary joins me in wanting to have defibrillators across our communities. Will he be able to make money available to amateur sports clubs across the country to have defibrillators installed? Will he also make funds available to roll out the...
Edward Timpson: ...a wholeness and harmony, within and beyond the classroom, in work and in play, and in body, intellect, and soul.” As an academically rigorous curriculum is not at odds with having PE at its heart, we can see it as the only subject that educates through the physical domain. The evidence that it helps enhance academic performance—not forgetting concentration and behaviour—has never...
Gillian Keegan: ...for those with more intensive needs. The chief social worker for adults, Lyn Romeo, has implemented a range of measures during the pandemic, including partnering with Tavistock and Portman NHS Foundation Trust to issue guidance to support the wellbeing of adult social workers and social care professionals. She meets regularly with the principal social workers in each local authority and...
Baroness Uddin: ...rights. I remain in awe of her continuous work. I am blessed with a 43 year-old son who lives with autism and learning disabilities, and the words of the noble Lord, Lord Wigley, touched my heart. My family has long battled with serious challenges within services. If I spoke about the experiences 40 years ago I would still be wailing, as I wailed then, battling institutional discrimination...
Bob Neill: ...conditions have found it tougher during the pandemic. Some 29% of people with MS have had appointments cancelled or delayed, and 53% said there had been a reduction in specialist support. The British Heart Foundation has raised particular concerns, to which I am sure we will return, about delays in diagnosis and treatment for people with heart conditions. That includes preventive...
Lord Stunell: ...this opportunity to explore what the amendments do and why it is so important that they and other matters relating to Clauses 14 and 15 are given serious consideration. These provisions are at the heart of the matter which I want to speak about. The question is really: is the United Kingdom to retain, as one of its trusted institutions and symbols of democratic legitimacy, the Electoral...
Rhun ap Iorwerth: ...that we allocate time to mark International Women's Day here in the Senedd. The theme this year is to 'break the bias'. One area where that bias or the gap exists is with regard to health, with heart attacks specifically. The recent report by the British Heart Foundation about the biological gap says that women are under a huge disadvantage at every stage of the patient pathway when it...
Christine Grahame: ...of my grandmother in her Edwardian dress with bustle and hair piled high. She was tall for her generation, and was a strong and determined woman. Having received a sum as compensation for her heart condition, she put down, with her husband Yade, a deposit on 305 Easter Road, Leith, where she lived until her death. Although she had been diagnosed with that heart condition, she fooled...
Baroness Merron: ...of children—that children with obesity are five times more likely to become adults with obesity, and increase their risk of developing a range of conditions, including type-2 diabetes, cancer and heart and liver disease. It is incumbent on us to take the steps that are necessary. Given the lateness of the hour—and I know that noble Lords wish to get to the question whether there is to...
Vicky Ford: I have heard my hon. Friend’s questions; I will make sure that he is written to, and that the foundation receives answers to the questions he has raised. As set out in the integrated review, the UK will support strong, transparent and accountable political processes and institutions overseas, including Parliaments and political parties, through the work of the foundation and other...
Paul Maynard: ...-east that many people would argue needs rationalising. I quote from the report as an example, not because I know the north-east particularly well. The commission writes: “accessing the Gregg’s Foundation Hardship Fund; utilising stocks of second-hand furniture and white goods stored by some councils; providing support via Section 17 of the Children’s Act 1989; the use of...
Rhun ap Iorwerth: ...a levy on sugary drinks. That's happening now, it's been accepted. We need to move on now to unhealthy foods as well. And has the Minister also considered calls from charities, such as the British Heart Foundation, to restrict promotions—buy one, get one free and the like—on unhealthy food and drink?
Justin Madders: In my constituency, the British Heart Foundation has told me that it is concerned about reports from the North West Ambulance Service that patient flow in and out of emergency departments is currently very slow, with ambulances being held for long periods, which has the knock-on effect, of course, of causing higher category 1 and category 2 stacks. Worryingly, we have heard reports of delays...
Lord Coaker: My Lords, I declare my interests as set out in the register as a research fellow at University of Nottingham, in the Rights Lab, and as a trustee of the Human Trafficking Foundation. I hope that can be noted as we go through this part of the Bill, rather than me saying it at the beginning of every group of amendments, if that is in order. Part 5 of the Bill deals with modern slavery. There...
Jenny Gilruth: ...of travel. We need to deliver rail services at the times when and in the ways in which people want to use them. Our publicly owned ScotRail will put passengers’ needs and interests at the heart of all that it does. Bringing train operators into public control is not new. Indeed, the United Kingdom and Welsh Governments have found themselves in similar positions, with three train...
Robin Swann: ...have led the United Kingdom in soft opt-out organ donation. However, we are where we are today and, thankfully, we have now aligned. There was a reception upstairs and the chief executive of the British Heart Foundation indicated that the same conversations have now started in the Dáil. The Health Minister in the Republic of Ireland is now looking at the scope to introduce similar...
Stewart Dickson: ...colleague Jo-Anne Dobson. I am thankful for Dáithí's family, who have done so much to emphasise the urgency of the legislation. It is also important that organisations like kidney charities, the British Heart Foundation (BHF), Northern Ireland Chest, Heart and Stroke and many others play a public role in campaigning diligently for the legislation. Many others have quietly pushed for the...
Gillian Mackay: To reverse the trend of falling healthy life expectancy, we need drastic improvements in Scotland’s public health. A group of nine organisations, including the British Heart Foundation and Cancer Research UK, recently published the briefing paper “Non-Communicable Diseases: Progress Report on Health Harming Product Action”, which is critical of the lack of progress on tackling unhealthy...
