Thanks 257 per 100,000. A 35% in crease since OctoberI am disgusted by the use of the Health Minister and Union flags when the Covid19 response in Ealing is controlled by Julian Bell. Oh and Anna BrydenAnna Bryden, Ealing’s Director of Public Health, claims to be an experienced Public Health professional with a positive and determined approach to collaborative working and experience at local, regional and national level but since March 10, 2020 she has done all she could to undermine those effective measures against the Coronavirus designed by Sir Patrick Vallance and Professor Chris Whitty.Far from being a skilled communicator, clarifying complex issues, Anna Bryden claimed in October 416 Ealing residents had died from Covid 19 when actually over 700 people had died. Anna Bryden repeated lied that the number of deaths was only slightly higher than the average for North West London which was 62 per 100,000 whereas in Ealing it was actually 200 per 100,000. Ealing has over 350,000 people, the 3rd largest borough by population in London, and the false figures she presents clearly assist Labour leaders like Julian Bell.Working from home Anna Bryden has ignored all published NHS data to fulfil her role as principal policy advisor to the Ealing Labour Party. Her focused pragmatic approach consists of refusing to promote the use of Vitamin C, Vitamin D and Zinc to strengthen immune systems that could have saved many Black and ethnic minority lives. Such misrepresentations of Covid 19 has allowed the Labour MP for Central Ealing & Acton Rupa Huq to promote Labour’s Critical Race Theory of health and social care. I have found nothing to support her claims to have strong interpersonal skills and a pragmatic approach to Public Health as indeed in October Anna Bryden told Ealing Council's Health and Adult Social Services Scrutiny Panel that 70% of cases nationally are followed up and in Ealing a similar percentage of people who test positive are receiving follow up calls like those people they have been in contact with. This is a blatant lie and no evidence to support this claim has been forthcoming from Ealing CEO Paul Najsarek.Anna Bryden does appear to be politically aware as demonstrated by her absurd claim that people from Ealing with Covid-19 are being sent to Dundee. Ms Bryden told the media: “In terms of general testing, it’s very hard to say the problem has gone away completely because we don't get all that data, but anecdotally we are not hearing stories that we were about people being sent to Dundee anymore.” The only trace of these tales is in Tweets from her friend Ealing Labour Councillor Dan Crawford.Anna Bryden claimed there is “an awful lot of capacity nationally” but demand for tests had risen. She claimed “There’s been a lot of anecdotal evidence nationally of young adults getting tested when they don’t have symptoms just so they can hold parties.” Again, she failed to provide any evidence or even explain who is providing these anecdotes she uses as evidence. The dishonesty of Anna Bryden is particularly clear in strategic commissioning that has reduced health and social services at the cost of people’s lives as well as a great deal of money. For example, Anna Bryden claimed central government told the NHS Services in Ealing to close testing sites. The actual problem was the faulty equipment supplied to the NHS by Ealing Labour Councillor Abdullah Gulaid through his company Labcare Diagnostics Ltd of Mumbai, India. Clearest proof of Anna Bryden’s failures is the recruitment of a new Consultant in Public Health on £89,148 a year to implement Ealing’s own misnamed Covid-19 Prevention and Outbreak Control Plan. The job advert was withdrawn after 1 week allowing Anna Bryden to announce that despite the weekly infection rate in Ealing declining Julian Bell had awarded contracts for local contact tracing to pick up Covid-19 cases missed by the NHS but she refuses to provide details except that Ealing would be “able to have some local staff who are trained to carry on those efforts.” How much this training will cost, how the trainers are to be recruited or who was awarded these lucrative contacts have not been revealed by Paul Najsarek. The number of people claiming unemployment-related benefits in London is 170% higher in October 2020 than in 2019, amounting to 300,000 new claims. Past recruitment by Ealing means another Labour Party member will be seconded as the consultant, someone who will continue to spread the insidious lies of Julian Bell, Rupa Huq and Paul Najsarek and who will claim to get some of the $13bn Pfizer and BioNTech will make in sales diverted into their pockets.
