Braden Fastier/Stuff It was not believed the plaques had been removed for repairs. Brian McIntyre, who has been restoring headstones in the cemetery along with a team of volunteers for the last few years, said he was not aware of any missing plaques. A Returned and Services Association (RSA) plaque had been reported missing at Marsden Cemetery after Anzac Day, but it had since become clear that it had been removed for repairs. It is understood brass and bronze plaques were among the most valuable, while stone and granite plaques had little to no resale value.

Galleries and museums around the country are reopening as coronavirus restrictions ease.
From April 26 indoor attractions and public buildings such as museums, galleries and libraries are allowed to reopen as Scotland moves from Level 4 to Level 3 of the Scottish Government’s five tiers of coronavirus restrictions.
Museums ranging from the Riverside Museum and Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum in Glasgow to the National Museum of Scotland and the Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art (Modern Two) in Edinburgh are among those opening their doors again on Monday.
A new campaign to help the public find their nearest gallery and champion Scotland’s contemporary art and studio facilities has also been launched.

Premium Content Ramping of ambulances outside major hospitals did not occur when I started as a medical intern in Queensland in 1976. Times have changed and ramping is everywhere. We have seen with COVID-19 that diseases, treatments and responses to health crises evolve. What is right one day is wrong the next. Health economics is the same. What was true for the health sector in the 1990s is not true now. Our large teaching and university hospitals in Queensland were pulled down in the 1990s and replaced with buildings that have half the bed capacity. In the 1970s and 80s, people stayed in hospital for three to five days for simple operations but procedures were quickly becoming safer and faster. The era of the day procedure was dawning and hospital stays shortened.
