From the Bureau Editor
Friday April 19
It’s a slow health news end to the week: The PM’s assertion that Britain is suffering from a sicknote culture leads the news and there’s still much reflection on the Nuffield Trust’s report about medicine shortages.
Bureau is taking a week off next week. Normal service will be resumed on Monday 29th April.
Have a good weekend.
