Fabulous looking out from Hookney Tor, #Dartmoor today, South to Bronze Age Grimspound & West to the remains of Medieval Tin workings and Victorian rabbit warrens https://t.co/RAyU1EZrTD
The COVID recovery period will require extra funding to deal with the huge backlog of routine and increasingly urgent care as well as rising health inequality so this level of fall is a serious concern https://t.co/9m06Nmg1Cq
