The Disability Discrimination Act 1995 has been replaced by the Equality Act 2010, but its spirit lives on. The Equality Act not only carried forward the protections of the DDA but also expanded them, creating a more comprehensive framework for tackling discrimination.

Every human being deserves to be treated with dignity, especially when they’re asking for help, not handouts.
The current model of care in General Practice and community healthcare needs urgent reform. The focus should be on maximising efficiency, empowering pharmacies, and most importantly, respecting the patient’s time. As closures increase and inefficiencies pile up, it is only a matter of time before more patients fall through the cracks, unless meaningful action is taken now.
Mapping the DNA of every baby born in the UK is a bold and questionable futuristic leap in public health. If implemented with the right ethical safeguards and public engagement, it could set a global standard for proactive healthcare, reduce disease burden, and improve life expectancy across generations. But as science marches forward, so must human rights protections. The challenge is not just mapping genes, it’s mapping out a future where technology enhances freedom, dignity, and equality, not erodes them.
