Dr Ulrich Müller-Sedgwick, the ADHD champion for the UK’s Royal College of Psychiatrists, says: “Nobody predicted that the demand would go up so massively over the last 15 years, and especially the last three years.” He’s been running adult ADHD clinics since 2007. At the time, he says, there were just a few of them.
"We were advised to breastfeed in the reception area."I’m not an architect, but the building has not stood the test of time.
"This atmosphere was causing troubles for the new mums and it’s also causing issues with the babies because of these old buildings."The people that are working there are not inadequate but the building is inadequate."Georgie Murray-Gourley, who lives in Taunton, said the "constant changing" of the midwives during the pregnancy was disappointing and made it "hard" to communicate.
"I kept having issues in the pregnancy and triage took ages – they wouldn’t get back until a day later," she said.Ms Murray-Gourley, who gave birth via c-section, said she was also discharged from the hospital too early due to a lack of beds.
"I should have stayed there longer than I did. I felt pushed out because of the need for beds," she said.
"It’s not fair the way I was treated," she added.Jeremy Corbyn’s suspension is precisely identified by Mr Rahman too as the first major showdown between different wings of the party under Keir Starmer.
Except, as someone who had been inspired by Mr Corbyn from the days of Stop the War protests in the lead-up to the UK-backed invasion of Iraq in 2003, Mr Rahman was on the other side, saying that was the moment when the alarm bells started ringing for him that the party leaders were not safeguarding the values he believed in.Mr Rahman does not see the party’s anti-Muslim slant as being limited to its response to events in Gaza. He does not question there have been serious cases of antisemitism but does not believe all accusations of racism are treated equally.
“There is a clear hierarchy of racism in the Labour Party. Some instances of racism, including Islamophobia, aren't taken as seriously as they should,” he says.Mr Rahman cites the case of Trevor Phillips, the former chair of the EHRC, who was suspended for alleged Islamophobia.
