内容摘要：We are heading to an all-time record for health-related benefits, according to recent forecasts, and the Treasury is worried. The rise in the bill for working-age health-related benefits has surged from £36bn before the pandemic to £48bn in the last financial year, and the official Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR) forecast is that it will reach £63bn per year in the next four years, with all these numbers accounting for inflation.

We are heading to an all-time record for health-related benefits, according to recent forecasts, and the Treasury is worried. The rise in the bill for working-age health-related benefits has surged from £36bn before the pandemic to £48bn in the last financial year, and the official Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR) forecast is that it will reach £63bn per year in the next four years, with all these numbers accounting for inflation.

The famed Last Night concert will be held at the Royal Albert Hall on 14 September, conducted by Sakari Oramo.The Prom will continue to feature Rule, Britannia!, which has become increasingly controversial because of its lyrics, organisers confirmed earlier this week.

Last year, cellist Sheku Kanneh-Mason received a torrent of abuse for suggesting that it should no longer be played.Sam Jackson, controller of Radio 3, described the reaction as "abhorrent" and "utterly unacceptable", but said the musician's discomfort with the song had made him "pause and reflect".Speaking to the Radio Times, he said: "The challenge that we have at the BBC is that I could sit in a room full of people who feel exactly the same way as Sheku and I could sit in another room full of licence-fee payers who feel just as strongly, if not more so, that Rule, Britannia! is a crucial part of our culture and tradition.

"I would argue we have to do what is morally right at the BBC," he added. "We should never do things just because it's what other people might want. We have to do what is right."Pickard said he would feel a "particular sadness" on his last Last Night in September, but promised to be back in the audience next year, when Jackson and Hannah Donat will take over the festival.

Speaking to BBC News, he chose the three concerts he's most looking forward to from his final programme:

Every Prom will be broadcast live on Radio 3 and BBC Sounds for 12 months. Highlights and full concerts will also be shown on BBC TV and iPlayer over 24 separate broadcasts.Arun District Council said the app will remove the need to use two separate discs for people parking in Littlehampton and Bognor Regis.

People can use it to pay for parking in three car parks in Littlehampton (Manor House, St Martins, and Anchor Springs) and another three in Bognor Regis (Hothamton, Fitzleet, and Lyon Street).It will allow two-hour parking durations in each car par once a day.

The app is due to go live on 1 January 2025.The council said it will allow customers to purchase additional hours without the need to return to their vehicle.
