Anyway, enough about us, let’s talk about general news this week:

The NHS to save ‘hundreds of millions’ in landmark drug ruling. Novartis and Bayer were trying to stop NHS doctors from prescribing a cheaper treatment for a serious eye condition. Health bosses said the judgement in the High Court may reduce the power of companies to set prices. Drug company Novartis said they were “disappointed” because patients were being asked to accept an unlicensed treatment to save the NHS money. The case centred on the treatment of patients with the common eye condition, wet age-related macular degeneration (AMD).

Facebook will no longer send employees to work at the offices of political campaigns during elections, the company has announced. The social network used to offer dedicated staff to political campaigns to help them develop their online advertising campaigns. Donald Trump’s digital director for the 2016 presidential election has said Facebook’s assistance helped him win. Facebook said rival Hillary Clinton was offered the same support, but declined. The social network is the second largest online advertising broker, behind Google.

In construction news this week…

Are safety fines are getting out of control? Galliford Try and Costain were fined £1.4m each this week after a worker lost three toes at a water treatment plant.

Caddick takes workforce plastic-free. Caddick Construction is pushing to become a single-use plastic free workforce by handing out reusable water bottles across the Yorkshire company.

 

That’s all for now folks!

Keeping Shtum on their Sausages!

People are left worried after reports of (own brand) pork products being sold at a leading UK supermarket may have infected thousands of people with a potentially deadly virus. According to the Public Health England, studies have found ham and sausages from a ‘specific’ supermarket was a recurring feature in the investigated 60 people who are already infected with the virus. The study does not name the retailer and so far the press have failed to identify the ‘leading UK Supermarket’ (however, some are pointing the blame at Tesco).

Barcelona players and fans held a minute’s silence prior to their football match against Real Betis last night. The Catalans had ‘Barcelona’ embossed onto the back of their shirts, rather than having the players names in tribute to those who lost their lives during the terror attack.

Most will be pleased to hear that courts have been told to get tough on social media hate crime. Prosecutors have been told to treat hate crime that is committed online the same as offences committed offline. In new guidance, the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) states: “The internet and social media in particular have provided new platforms for offending behaviour.”

Engineers probe multi-storey car park collapse. Structural engineers are investigating how a large front-end section of concrete deck at a Notttingham multi-storey car park suddenly collapsed.
