  • An Affront to Dignity, Inclusion and Equality: Coronavirus and the Impact of Law, Policy and Practice on People with Disabilities in the United Kingdom
    Report Recommendations - An Affront to Dignity, Inclusion and Equality: Coronavirus and the impact of law, policy and practice on people with disabilities in the United Kingdom In the following areas our Report urges the government to: On reforming the Coronavirus Act 2020, disability rights and mitigating effects of the pandemic 1. Undertake an immediate review of legislation passed during the coronavirus crisis and communication thereof. In doing so, we ask that the government change this legislation and all related policymaking to meet its duties under the Equality Act 2010, and commitments to the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, and take steps to avoid or mitigate any potential disadvantage for disabled people. 2. Implement recommendations made by the 2016 House of Lords Select Committee Report on the Equality Act 2010 and Disability, and by the Women and Equalities Committee, on enhancing the enforcement of the Equality Act 2010, both by removing deterrents to individuals bringing disability discrimination cases; and by measures which embed the monitoring and enforcement of relevant duties in the work of regulatory and inspection bodies. 3. Undertake an inquiry on the impact of COVID-19 on disabled people to examine why this group has carried such a heavy burden for the pandemic, including the scale of Covid-19 related deaths. 4. Establish a Covid-19 Disability Inclusive Response and Recovery Group, of experts by experience with disabilities and Disabled People’s Organisations, to ensure disabled people are central to decision-making on the economic and social recovery to the pandemic and guidance. 5.

  • The Yellow Cat: Diagnostic & Therapeutic Strategies
    Peer Reviewed THE YELLOW CAT: DIAGNOSTIC & THERAPEUTIC STRATEGIES The Yellow Cat: Diagnostic & Therapeutic Strategies Craig B. Webb, PhD, DVM, Diplomate ACVIM (Small Animal Internal Medicine) Colorado State University There is no mystery when it comes to a “yellow” cat. Icterus and jaundice—both of which describe a yellowish pigmentation of the skin—indicate hyperbilirubinemia, a 5- to 10-fold elevation in serum bilirubin concentration. However, this is where the certainty ends and the diagnostic challenge begins. The icteric cat presentation is not a sensitive or specific marker of disease, despite the visually obvious and impressive clinical sign (Figure 1).1 The objective of this article is to briefly review differentials for hyperbilirubinemia in the cat, and present a diagnostic and therapeutic strategy that will help practitioners approach this problem in an efficient and effective manner. FIGURE 1. Icteric pinna of a cat in the critical HYPERBILIRUBINEMIA: ORGANIZATION care isolation unit; prehepatic hemolysis BY LOCATION and anemia are a result of Cytauxzoon felis infection. Hyperbilirubinemia The differentials for hyperbilirubinemia should be results when organized by location: prehepatic, hepatic, and serum bilirubin posthepatic.

  • Document43 Breed Article Somali, Website Cfa.Org
    Breed Article: Somali The Somali Cat: 30 Years and Going Strong! by Kathy Black What comes to mind when we think of the Somali? A longhaired Abyssinian? A cat that resembles a fox? A colorful cat with squirrel markings? Many colorful adjectives could be used to describe the Somali, but I think that the Somali breeders/owners themselves express it the best. Recently at the CFA International Cat Show in Kansas City, I asked some of them to describe the Somali, using the first thought that came to mind. Here are their responses: very loving, lively, playful, large bushy tail, into everything, softest fur ever felt, the king, busy, ready for action, foxy, ornery, strikingly beautiful, lifetime companion, active, mischievous, and colorful. The Somali is a combination of beauty and personality. The first thing that captures your attention is the beauty and uniqueness of the Somali. They are very striking cats, with their colorful coats, Photo: © Carl Widmer bushy tails, facial markings and alert personalities. They come in four recognized colors: ruddy, red, blue and fawn. The combination of ticked, dramatic colored fur, facial markings, large ears, full ruff, dark hocks and bushy tail and britches is what gives the Somali its wild feral look - and is what immediately draws fascinated attention to the breed. As you can see described above, however, the Somali's personality is what their breeders and owners prize the most. Somalis are intelligent cats, very playful and active. They are "people cats" in the truest sense, in that they seek out the attention of their owners.

  • William Wragg MP Chairman Public Administration and Constitutional Affairs Committee House of Commons 26 August 2020
    Edward Argar MP Minister of State for Health 39 Victoria Street London SW1H 0EU 020 7210 4850 William Wragg MP Chairman Public Administration and Constitutional Affairs Committee House of Commons 26 August 2020 Dear William, Thank you for your letter of 16 July with some follow-up questions, further to the appearance of the Paymaster General and myself, along with senior officials from the Department of Health and Social Care and the Cabinet Office before your committee on 14 July. May I apologise for the delay in responding to your letter, however, there were a number of detailed questions within it, and we have used the time to give you answers which are as detailed as possible. I have provided a response to your further points below, covering the matters for which my Department are responsible. I understand The Paymaster General has replied separately. Ministerial responsibilities I know that Paymaster General has responded to your question about ministerial responsibilities across government as a whole. In addition to the strategic direction provided by the Secretary of State, I have attached a list of DHSC ministers’ Covid and non-Covid ministerial responsibilities at Annex A. Exercise Cygnus Question 103 was about Exercise Cygnus which as the committee will be aware was conducted in 2016, with its findings circulated to relevant Ministers in 2017. The release of the Exercise Cygnus report is currently under review and Ministers will be making a decision shortly – for this reason, I am not currently able to share a copy with the committee. I can, however, confirm that Government accepted the lessons identified by Exercise Cygnus which, along with learning from previous pandemics, infectious disease outbreaks and incidents, and other preparedness exercises, continue to inform work undertaken by Government and a range of stakeholders, including expert advisory groups and local emergency planners.

By 20 March, all schools in the UK had closed to all children except those of key workers and children considered vulnerable.

  • Written Evidence from S.J. Groenewegen BEM (RCC20)
    Written evidence from S.J. Groenewegen BEM (RCC20) Public Administration and Constitutional Affairs Committee Responding to Covid-19 and the Coronavirus Act 2020 inquiry I am providing evidence as a private citizen who is currently self-employed as a freelance author, but who has 25 years of experience in the public administration arena. I was employed as a Civil Servant from January 2005 to September 2019, specifically at the National Crime Squad of England and Wales, the Serious Organised Crime Agency (SOCA), the National Crime Agency (NCA), and HM Prison and Probation Service (England and Wales). I worked in a variety of roles at practitioner and middle management levels. Prior to migrating to the UK in 2004, I worked in the Australian public service as a government policy officer in the areas of occupational health and safety, and then policing and national security. My concerns about how the UK Government responded stem from my experience in risk assessment and management, national security and public safety as they relate to the criminal justice system. My evidence draws on my broad experience in these fields but does not refer to any specific example. In my capacity as a private citizen, I am responding to the additional questions on the nature of an inquiry and not the original set of questions posed about the legislative framework. What form is the most appropriate for an inquiry into the UK response to the Coronavirus pandemic? Should it be a statutory inquiry and, if not, what form of non- statutory inquiry should be held? Statutory, under the Inquiries Act 2005.
