"We are really confident we have done what we need to do to really meet the standards we need," said Professor Deirdre Fowler, chief nurse and chief midwife at the trust.

The closure saw 47 patients discharged in rapid fashion, some of which didn't have a stable place to transition to and relapsed immediately afterward.

Having the gene treatment has been life-changing, it's like someone waved a magic wand and restored her sight in the dark. She's thriving and you wouldn't know she had the condition just by looking at her.

Resident Mike Morris expressed that the project will burden the community, citing existing congestion on local roads. He stated, 'This is the wrong neighborhood for such a massive project.'

"The bikes we give are brand new, because part of it is the delight of getting a new bike. These kids have been in treatment for so long and can miss out on big stages of development."

Sofii Lewis described her experience, stating, "I knew I wasn't safe. But I didn't think I was out of control." This highlights the confusion many face with postpartum psychosis.

Parents and grandparents of trans youth, plus their therapists and medical providers, are fed up after years of health care bans and hostile rhetoric. Those feelings are driving them to do things they've never done before - like plan to get arrested at a protest.

Jessica Mason went back and forth to her GP and hospital with swelling, bleeding and pain in her vagina but says she was "fobbed off" before "begging" for a scan which revealed cancer requiring urgent treatment. The 44-year-old believes she was only referred for an MRI because she "broke down in tears" to a doctor, adding: "I knew there was something wrong."

Isla first went to the GP in July 2022 with a lump in her breast, but she was told it was likely to be benign and caused by hormonal changes. "She was told it was hormonal - a fibroadenoma - and she would grow out of it," Isla's father Mark said. Two years later, Isla became ill and was taken to hospital, where doctors suspected she had cancer and made an urgent referral for biopsies.

New findings on cancer survival rates offer hope for the more than 2 million Americans diagnosed each year. Seven out of 10 Americans diagnosed with cancer now survive five years or more, according to the American Cancer Society, a 7 percent increase since the mid-1990s, when the rate stood at 63 percent. The survival rate data - from patients diagnosed with cancer between 2015 and 2021 - showed, significantly, that those with high-mortality cancers and advanced diagnoses had the largest gains.

A report last year found unnecessary surgeries were carried out, cancers were missed and poor standards of care were delivered at the University Hospital of North Durham and Darlington Memorial Hospital. CDDTF said it wanted to support the patients it had let down, including by offering access to psychological support, and to ensure they knew how to make a claim or raise concerns with police.
