FIZZY drinks raise your cancer risk, according to a study. Women who consume more than one sugary drink per day were found to be five times more likely to get mouth cancer than those who drink less than one a month. Oral cancer cases are rising and hit 10,825 in the UK last year, making it the 10th most common type. Smoking, booze and the HPV virus are linked to the vast majority of mouth cancer cases and it is generally more common in men.

Nor is the history of changing the health service a happy one. A former Conservative minister, Andrew Lansley, oversaw the creation of N.H.S. England as part of an overhaul of the health service that was widely criticized and has been gradually undone. After years of underfunding, the country’s creaking, overstretched health care system badly needs investment: The waiting list for medical procedures currently exceeds seven million. The government says it wants to slim the size of the state and deliver services more efficiently.

The move will undo the structural reforms that the NHS were put through in 2012. The prime minister also stressed that the shake-up will allow the ministers to reduce record waiting lines. In his speech, PM Starmer said he couldn't possibly justify why the Britons needed to spend their money on "two layers of bureaucracy". "That money could and should be spent on nurses, doctors, operations, GP appointments," he added.UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer said NHSE has been abolished with the aim to reduce record waiting lists. NHS England will now be absorbed into the DHSC.

NHS England, an arms-length body that oversees £200 billion worth of spending, will be abolished to “put the NHS at the heart of government where it belongs”.

The first was on democratic accountability — ministers, not officials, should be responsible for making decisions about how taxpayers’ money should be spent. • PM abolishes NHS England in reforms — follow liveBut he also made an argument on cost, saying that there was too

This week that became a little clearer when a study from University College Dublin found a link between frozen slushies and glycerol intoxication syndrome, with researchers highlighting that 21 children in the UK and Ireland have been admitted unconscious to A&E in the past six years after drinking them. Most of the children had fallen ill within an hour of drinking a slushie and all made a quick recovery. This report follows research from Cancer Research UK that found children aged between 11 and 18 drink the equivalent of

But one respondent to Press Gazette’s recent survey on this issue said: “Oh my god I hate hybrid working. Hybrid working: office or agile, home or hubNews UK has a minimum requirement of three days in the office across The Sun and The Times. There has been some gradual change towards more office work in the past three years but about half (49%) of Reach staff are classed as predominantly remote workers. Just under a third (30%) of Reach staff are hybrid, and 21% are hub-based (although this percentage includes those working at printing facilities). Hybrid working is ultimately a trade off between the effective running of the business which would favour more time together in person, and personal flexibility which is critical to attract and retain talent."
