Covid inquiry hears more less well-off people were hospitalised
Kate Bell and Gerry Murphy from the Irish Congress of Trade Unions gave evidence to the inquiry on MondayThe Covid-19 inquiry in London has heard that people from less well-off backgrounds were more likely to be hospitalised during the pandemic.He said that also manifested in more "premature deaths, suicide rates and generally all negative indicators".
This module of the inquiry examines how resilient and prepared each of the UK nations were as the pandemic emerged. The hearing heard that 10 years of austerity meant there were low margins of extra capacity particularly when an ageing population placed greater pressure on the health system. When asked if the lack of an Stormont executive and ministerial input between 2017 and 2020 had an adverse impact on the population which had been allowed to "drift", Mr Murphy said he "entirely agreed".
He added that it was "particularly disappointing" that the executive collapsed in 2017 following all the political parties and trade unions signing up to the 2016 Bengoa review which looked at transforming the system.

Depression, anxiety, and burnout among psychiatrists during the COVID-19 pandemic: a cross-sectional study in Beijing, China - BMC PsychiatryBackground With the rise of reported mental disorders and behavioral issues after the outbreak of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, psychiatrists and mental health care are urgently needed more than ever before. The psychiatric career carries a high emotional burden and stressful demands, which bring issues on psychiatrists’ mental health and well-being into question. To investigate the prevalence and risk factors of depression, anxiety, and work burnout among psychiatrists in Beijing during the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods This cross-sectional survey was conducted from January 6 to January 30, 2022, two years after COVID-19 was declared a global pandemic. Recruitment was performed using a convenience sample approach by sending online questionnaires to psychiatrists in Beijing. The symptoms of depression, anxiety, and burnout were evaluated using the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9), Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7 (GAD-7), and Maslach Burnout Inventory-General Survey (MBI-GS). The perceived stress and social support were measured by the Chinese Perceived Stress Scale (CPSS) and Social Support Rating Scale (SSRS), respectively. Results The data of 564 psychiatrists (median [interquartile range] age, 37 [30–43] years old) of all 1532 in Beijing were included in the statistical analysis. The prevalence of symptoms of depression, anxiety and burnout were 33.2% (95% CI, 29.3-37.1%, PHQ-9 ≥ 5), 25.4% (95% CI, 21.8-29.0%, GAD-7 ≥ 5) and 40.6% (95% CI, 36.5-44.7%, MBI-GS ≥ 3 in each of the three subdimensions), respectively. The psychiatrist with a higher score on perceived stress was more likely to suffer from depressive symptoms (adjusted odds ratios [ORs]: 4.431 [95%CI, 2.907–6.752]); the anxiety symptoms (adjusted ORs: 8.280 [95%CI, 5.255–13.049]), and the burnout conditions (adjusted ORs: 9.102 [95%CI, 5.795–14.298]). Receiving high social support was an independent protective factor against symptoms of depression (adjusted ORs: 0.176 [95%CI, [0.080
