Mashup Score: 20
Removing the “reasonable punishment” defence and prohibiting corporal punishment of children can help to reduce family violence, says Andrew Rowland In England and Northern Ireland, we have a key opportunity to give children the equal protection from assault that they need, deserve, and are entitled to as a matter of international children’s rights law. A new Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health (RCPCH) report, “Equal protection from assault in England and Northern Ireland,” sets out the case for the legislative change to remove the “reasonable punishment” defence and to prohibit all physical punishment of children.1 Changing the law around physical punishment could help protect children against abuse and could protect and promote their health, wellbeing, and early development. Wales, Scotland, and over 60 other states around the world have already taken the necessary steps to prohibit physical punishment (as far back as 1979 in Sweden’s case). Yet in England and Northern Irel

Mashup Score: 23John Launer: Doctors as activists - 9 hour(s) ago
Doctor activists are in the news. Sarah Benn, a former GP from Birmingham, has had her medical licence suspended for five months after being arrested for taking part in peaceful protests by Just Stop Oil.1 Medical members of the Extinction Rebellion movement have served jail sentences for taking part in peaceful protests about the climate emergency: they now face disciplinary hearings to determine whether they’ll be struck off.2 It’s tempting to think that medical activism is new, but it isn’t.

Mashup Score: 4When will Canada have national pharmacare? - 21 hour(s) ago
Canadians support it, public health demands it, now policy makers must deliver it Canada’s universal healthcare system, often referred to as Medicare, provides universal, public insurance for medically necessary physicians’ services and hospital care, including inpatient prescription drugs.1 Prescriptions filled outside hospitals are not part of this system, forcing Canadians to rely on an incomplete and uncoordinated patchwork of public and private drug plans.2 That might soon change. Canada’s federal government is debating a bill that would take the first step towards universal, public coverage of prescription drugs, legislation that has been long called for and often promised by government.3 But implementation of a “national pharmacare” system will face formidable opposition. Presently, Canada’s federal government, 10 provincial governments, and three territorial governments offer more than 100 different public drug plans for population subgroups that vary across the country.4 Each
