The Clare based Chair of the Irish Lung Cancer Community is criticising the government for allowing vulnerable people to suffer in deprived conditions. New research from the Irish Cancer Society shows that one in three patients receiving end of life care in their homes this year could not afford heating. The group is now calling for the household benefits package, which provides a daily energy allowance of €35 to be immediately extended to everyone with a diagnosis. Ennis Lung Cancer survivor Seamus Cotter has been telling Clare FM's Daragh Dolan that the current state of affairs is extremely troubling.

Only a small share of M Health Fairview patients leave the hospital early, against their doctor's advice. But according to new reporting in Sahan Journal, that number is five times higher for people who use opioids or meth, and and 10 to 12 times higher for people of color with those addictions. Doctor Ryan Kelly is working to reverse that trend. He's a general medicine hospitalist, primary care physician and also treats opioid dependence at the Community and University Health Care Center. He spoke with MPR News host Cathy Wurzer about why people with drug addictions check themselves out of the hospital early, and what is being done about it.

Today on the Pro-Life Podcast, we recap the Pro-Life bills that did and didn't pass in Texas this year. Make a difference on Pro-Life laws; give a life-saving contribution: https://texasrighttolife.com/help-our-legislative-efforts/  Call to Action:  Ask Governor Abbott's office to add Pro-Life bills to a special session. Email greg.davidson@gov.texas.gov and copy and paste this message! Dear Governor Abbott and team, I ask you to keep your promise to protect preborn babies and Texas families. Please add the following Pro-Life Priorities to a special session call: a) Establishing the Texas Adoption Assistance Program (such as House Bill 4138 from the Regular Session); and b) Stopping the promotion and distribution of illegal abortion pills (such as House Bill 2690 and Senate Bill 1927 from the Regular Session) By adding these unfinished Pro-Life Priorities to the agenda for a special session, the Legislature will have another chance to protect innocent human Life and show that Texas is not just anti-abortion but truly Pro-Life and pro-family.

Doctors are warning new oral antiviral drugs, which have been dubbed a "game changer" when treating covid in vulnerable patients, will not be available to all who want them. The Government has secured 60,000 doses each of Molnupiravir, manufactured by Merck Sharp & Dohme, and Paxlovid, made by Pfizer. The first shipment of Paxlovid has arrived in the country and will be rolled out next week, but Molnupiravir is still undergoing Medsafe approval and isn't expected to arrive until sometime between April and June. Some District Health Boards are struggling to deal with the wave of Omicron cases, and the number of deaths have increased - could this treatment have come too late? And, are 120,000 doses enough to help those who need it the most? Dr Bryan Betty, Medical Director of the Royal New Zealand College of General Practitioners and Pharmac's Chief Executive Sarah Fitt join Kathryn to discuss.
