- Credit: Sam Dale I for one feel it s too early and after Easter might have been a better goal, to have longer to get a clearer picture of the numbers and trends after vaccinations and new strains.

Campaigners in Suffolk have called for more investment in children s mental health services - amid ongoing concerns about the Covid-19 crisis impact on youngsters wellbeing.
A report published this month by children s commissioner Anne Longfield exposed concerns over access to support, as well as a postcode lottery of services across the country.
It found that just one in five children referred for services began their treatment within four weeks and that the speed of services expansion needed to increase.
