Finding a way to shorten the stay When you are in hospital, it’s important for us to ensure you receive the best possible care, in the best possible time. This also means making sure you only stay with us for the time you need to, giving you valuable recovery time in your own environment. Timely discharge allows the Hospital to have beds available for new patients, making sure there is no wait for treatment and health and wellbeing is not at risk. This summer, the Trust has launched its ‘Every Hour Counts’ promotional campaign, to raise awareness of length of stay and ensure a safe and appropriately timed discharge for patients in hospital.

What has been the biggest changes in society? All of us will remember 2020 as the year our lives were turned upside down by Covid-19. It’s hard to overestimate the impact that had on not just our physical health and our daily lives, but also on our mental health, with rates of depression doubling during the first six months of lockdown. The Black Lives Matter movement also stands out, shining a light on the systemic issues facing Black people and people of colour around the world. And of course, climate change is ever-present. 2020 showed that we can all mobilise to change. What impact have these issues had on ITV and its Social Purpose? I think it shows that purpose-driven business is more important than ever before.

HMRC fall’s short with efforts to establish control HMRC did not provide any witnesses, relying solely on the contractual arrangements agreed between Albatel Ltd and ITV as its evidence.

  • Glottaling in Scottish English
    Volume 5, Issue 1 Article 2 2019 An Intraspeaker Study of /t/-glottaling in Scottish English Sophia Miller [email protected] ISSN: 2057-1720 doi: 10.2218/ls.v5i1.2019.3115 This paper is available at: http://journals.ed.ac.uk/lifespansstyles Hosted by The University of Edinburgh Journal Hosting Service: http://journals.ed.ac.uk/ An Intraspeaker Study of /t/-glottaling in Scottish English Sophia Miller Recent sociolinguistic research suggests that the previously stigmatised glottal replacement of /t/ has begun to appear more frequently in more standard varieties of Scots and Scottish English, as well as further south in RP. This study investigates the patterns of /t/-glottaling used by Scottish television presenter Lorraine Kelly and whether her rates of /t/-glottaling differ by interlocutor, by comparing two audio clips where she acts as interviewer and interviewee respectively. Whilst a high rate of word-final /t/-glottaling is found, there is no difference in /t/-glottaling between the two contexts, making it difficult to explain this variation through contextual social factors. 1 Introduction Glottal replacement, or /t/-glottaling, the realisation of underlying /t/ as a glottal stop, is one of the most widely studied sociolinguistic variables of the English language. Though it is still somewhat stigmatised (Stuart-Smith 1999, Fabricius 2002), /t/-glottaling has undergone a rapid spread across varieties of English from its origins in working-class urban speech (Macaulay 1977, Fabricius 2002). Though it has long been suggested that the feature has its origins in London (Milroy et al. 1994), increasing research into /t/-glottaling in Scotland has revealed a long and rich history (Schleef 2013).
