themanchestereveningnews--2020-11-11--‘Northern Powerhouse’ hit harder by Covid than rest of the country, report says

Greater Manchester and the ‘ Northern Powerhouse ’ has been hit harder by the coronavirus pandemic than the rest of the country , according to a new report .
Authored by top academics from the region it says that existing inequalities left the north more vulnerable to the impact of COVID-19 - and both the economy and people ’ s health have suffered disproportionately .
More people died of both COVID and non-COVID related causes in the Northern Powerhouse - defined as the North East , North West , Yorkshire and Humber and the Northern Midlands - than in other @ @ @ @ @ @ @ this year .
Figures show that , compared to the national average , 57.7 extra people per 100,000 lost their lives during those months - and this remains significant even when deprivation , age and ethnicity are accounted for .
More detailed statistics in the report also show that mortality rates in Manchester , Stockport and Wigan were all at least 10pc above the national average in May .
The region also saw unemployment rates - already higher than in the rest of England - rise much faster during March and April .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ Wigan all saw rates at least 10pc higher than the national average .
The report estimates the economic cost of increased mortality at £6.86bn and the impact on mental health at around £5bn a year .
Dr Luke Munford , a lecturer in health economics at the University of Manchester , said the report reaffirmed the ‘ inextricable link ’ between health and wealth ’ established by earlier studies .
He said : “ The Northern Powerhouse , on average , has been hit harder by COVID-19 than the rest of England in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
“ We can not get away from their interconnectedness .
The fact that these regional inequalities persist even after we account for deprivation and other known determinants means that there are other factors at play .
“ These regional inequalities need to be addressed fast , or we risk letting the Northern Powerhouse fall further behind .
A sensible place to start would be improving the health of people living in the Northern Powerhouse.
” Professor Clare Bambra , professor of public health , at Newcastle University added : “ Our report @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the pandemic together with the Northern regions being hardest hit .
`` Health and wealth in the Northern Powerhouse lagged behind the rest of the country even before the COVID pandemic , and over the last year our significant regional inequalities have been exacerbated.

Greater Manchester and the ‘Northern Powerhouse’ has been hit harder by the coronavirus pandemic than the rest of the country, according to a new report.
Authored by top academics from the region it says that existing inequalities left the north more vulnerable to the impact of COVID-19 - and both the economy and people’s health have suffered disproportionately.
More people died of both COVID and non-COVID related causes in the Northern Powerhouse - defined as the North East, North West, Yorkshire and Humber and the Northern Midlands - than in other areas of England between March and July this year.
Figures show that, compared to the national average, 57.7 extra people per 100,000 lost their lives during those months - and this remains significant even when deprivation, age and ethnicity are accounted for.
More detailed statistics in the report also show that mortality rates in Manchester, Stockport and Wigan were all at least 10pc above the national average in May.
The region also saw unemployment rates - already higher than in the rest of England - rise much faster during March and April.
As with mortality Manchester, Stockport and Wigan all saw rates at least 10pc higher than the national average.
The report estimates the economic cost of increased mortality at £6.86bn and the impact on mental health at around £5bn a year.
Dr Luke Munford, a lecturer in health economics at the University of Manchester, said the report reaffirmed the ‘inextricable link’ between health and wealth’ established by earlier studies.
He said: “The Northern Powerhouse, on average, has been hit harder by COVID-19 than the rest of England in terms of both health and wealth outcomes.
“We cannot get away from their interconnectedness. The fact that these regional inequalities persist even after we account for deprivation and other known determinants means that there are other factors at play.
“These regional inequalities need to be addressed fast, or we risk letting the Northern Powerhouse fall further behind. A sensible place to start would be improving the health of people living in the Northern Powerhouse.”
Professor Clare Bambra, professor of public health, at Newcastle University added: “Our report highlights that we are not all in the pandemic together with the Northern regions being hardest hit.
"Health and wealth in the Northern Powerhouse lagged behind the rest of the country even before the COVID pandemic, and over the last year our significant regional inequalities have been exacerbated.”
Other key findings include that mental and ﬁnancial wellbeing were hardest hit in the Northern Powerhouse, as was loneliness.
The report adds that adverse trends in poverty, education, employment and mental health for children and young people have all been worsened by the pandemic.
It warns that the effects could be felt for years to come if the government does not invest in the north in order to address long-standing problems - many of which it links to austerity.
And it makes a number of recommendations to stop the inequalities that left the region so vulnerable from deepening.
In the short-term these include giving local test and trace systems extra resources, removing the child-benefit cap and investing more in mental health services.
The report also advises prioritising clinically vulnerable and deprived communities in the north when the COVID-19 vaccine is rolled out.
Proposals for the 'medium term' include delivering a £1bn fund ring-fenced to tackle health inequalities at a regional level, and creating northern ‘Health for Life’ centres providing a life-long programme of health and wellbeing advice and support services.
Professor Bambra added: “We need to significantly ‘level up’ the country by providing immediate additional support to local authorities and devolved administrations in the North - and by investing further in public health prevention in the Northern Powerhouse.
“In this way, we can reduce the inequalities that the pandemic has highlighted and ensure that our regions are better equipped for building back better.”
The report, entitled COVID-19 and the Northern Powerhouse: Tackling Health Inequalities for UK Health and Productivity, was a joint piece of work between the The Northern Health Science Alliance, NIHR Applied Research Collaborations (North East and North Cumbria, Greater Manchester, North West Coast, Yorkshire and Humber), and the NIHR School of Public Health Research.

themanchestereveningnews--2020-11-11--Oldham's leader has revealed how much the council paid for Spindles

Oldham council bought the town ’ s Spindles Shopping Centre for £9.5m , it has been revealed .
The town hall had announced the purchase of the Spindles Town Square Shopping Centre and the proposed relocation of Tommyfield Market into the complex last month .
Council leader Sean Fielding then said they couldn ’ t reveal the cost as it was commercially sensitive , but described the purchase as an ‘ absolute bargain ’ .
However he made the figure public at a meeting of the full council on Wednesday night .
“ While we were told initially that we @ @ @ @ @ @ @ price for legal reasons , I ’ m delighted that we ’ ve now been given to confirm that , whilst it was bought by previous owners for over £40m , we managed to get the whole centre for £9.5m , ” Coun Fielding said .
“ At that price getting public control of such a central strategically important site rather than let it go into managed decline really was a no-brainer .
“ I know spending money when times are so tight raises some eyebrows .
But as well as getting it @ @ @ @ @ @ @ s an investment that will actually save the council a lot of money .
“ It ’ s being bought with cash rather than taking on additional external debt so there ’ s no loan to pay back or interest payments , and it ’ s self financing with income from the centre being sufficient to cover management and maintenance costs .
“ I don ’ t claim to be an expert shopping centre manager but I was sold on the potential of the site for our borough.
” The purchase of the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ s pot of capital that it can spend on infrastructure projects and investments , rather than its revenue budget which finances day to day services .
The town hall is also planning on moving ‘ hundreds ’ of its own staff into the empty office spaces in the mezzanine floors of the shopping centre .
The aim to have authority staff eventually working in the shopping centre would mean they could save money and don ’ t require a ‘ shiny new council building ’ , Coun Fielding told councillors .
“ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ levels and is exactly the kind of proactive move that will set Oldham up to flourish on the other side of the pandemic , ” he said .
However he added : “ Many residents are wondering if this in fact represents a risky purchase , not necessarily something I would agree with.
” During the meeting Conservative group leader Coun John Hudson also quizzed Coun Fielding on whether the cost of the shopping centre included all ‘ liabilities ’ .
However Coun Fielding responded that the ‘ rumour doing the rounds ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of the previous owners of the centre was incorrect .
“ That ’ s just a rumour someone ’ s made up to try and suggest that it ’ s not a good deal , ” he said .
“ We ’ re not taking on any debt , we bought the building for £9.5m and it ’ s as simple as that.
” Bosses say Tommyfield Market , which is currently based on Henshaw Street , will be relocated into a more ‘ prominent location ’ as part the refurbished Spindles Town @ @ @ @ @ @ @ centre will also ‘ unlock ’ brownfield sites within the town centre for housebuilding , according to the council .
The ambition of the local authority is to build around 2,500 modern homes in the heart of Oldham .

Oldham council bought the town’s Spindles Shopping Centre for £9.5m, it has been revealed.
The town hall had announced the purchase of the Spindles Town Square Shopping Centre and the proposed relocation of Tommyfield Market into the complex last month.
Council leader Sean Fielding then said they couldn’t reveal the cost as it was commercially sensitive, but described the purchase as an ‘absolute bargain’.

“While we were told initially that we weren’t allowed to reveal the price for legal reasons, I’m delighted that we’ve now been given to confirm that, whilst it was bought by previous owners for over £40m, we managed to get the whole centre for £9.5m,” Coun Fielding said.
“At that price getting public control of such a central strategically important site rather than let it go into managed decline really was a no-brainer.
“I know spending money when times are so tight raises some eyebrows. But as well as getting it at a knock-down price, it’s an investment that will actually save the council a lot of money.
“It’s being bought with cash rather than taking on additional external debt so there’s no loan to pay back or interest payments, and it’s self financing with income from the centre being sufficient to cover management and maintenance costs.
“I don’t claim to be an expert shopping centre manager but I was sold on the potential of the site for our borough.”
The purchase of the centre is being funded from the council’s pot of capital that it can spend on infrastructure projects and investments, rather than its revenue budget which finances day to day services.

The town hall is also planning on moving ‘hundreds’ of its own staff into the empty office spaces in the mezzanine floors of the shopping centre.
The aim to have authority staff eventually working in the shopping centre would mean they could save money and don’t require a ‘shiny new council building’, Coun Fielding told councillors.
“It’s a win on several levels and is exactly the kind of proactive move that will set Oldham up to flourish on the other side of the pandemic,” he said.
Opposition Liberal Democrat group leader Councillor Howard Sykes congratulated Coun Fielding on becoming Oldham’s ‘biggest shopkeeper’.
However he added: “Many residents are wondering if this in fact represents a risky purchase, not necessarily something I would agree with.”
During the meeting Conservative group leader Coun John Hudson also quizzed Coun Fielding on whether the cost of the shopping centre included all ‘liabilities’.
However Coun Fielding responded that the ‘rumour doing the rounds’ that the authority took on debt liabilities of the previous owners of the centre was incorrect.
“That’s just a rumour someone’s made up to try and suggest that it’s not a good deal,” he said.
“We’re not taking on any debt, we bought the building for £9.5m and it’s as simple as that.”

Bosses say Tommyfield Market, which is currently based on Henshaw Street, will be relocated into a more ‘prominent location’ as part the refurbished Spindles Town Square Shopping Centre.
Acquiring the shopping centre will also ‘unlock’ brownfield sites within the town centre for housebuilding, according to the council.
The ambition of the local authority is to build around 2,500 modern homes in the heart of Oldham.
The market hall, which was built in the 1990s, will be demolished and a new ‘linear’ park will be developed from the market site to the former Sports Centre site, with new homes to be built around it.
The new ‘green corridor’, which will take over the pedestrianised route the runs behind the Primark store, will boost access to green space in the town centre for visitors and residents.

Plans to expand the £800m NOMA development in Manchester city centre are set to be signed off by the council’s executive.
An extra 620,000 sq ft of new offices could be built around Angel Square at the heart of the 20-acre site to meet growing demand for ‘Grade A’ employment space.
The updated strategic regeneration framework (SRF) for the area - expected to be approved by councillors this afternoon (Wednesday) - also earmarks three plots of land for retail and leisure space - including a hotel.
Proposals for a multi-storey car park have been abandoned within the revised scheme due to Manchester’s commitment to becoming zero carbon by 2038.
Around 563,000 sq ft of offices have been built or are under construction at NOMA, including Amazon’s first UK headquarters outside of London, with 5,300 jobs created in the last decade.
A luxury 36-storey tower with 458 apartments to rent has also opened, though roads around the building had to be closed in February after cladding panels were blown off in a storm.
Councillor Nigel Murphy, deputy leader of Manchester council, said in August: "The updated plan for NOMA is to build on the success of the area and meet the potential of a key gateway site into the city centre - which has excellent transport links via Victoria Station and the Shudehill interchange.
“The neighbourhood has already brought about some incredibly exciting, sustainable architecture in No1 Angel Square, as well as bringing back into use some important heritage buildings.

themanchestereveningnews--2020-11-11--Minister explains how rapid testing will mean students can go home for Christmas

Mass testing and an early end to in-person teaching will ‘ unlock the opportunity ’ for university students to return home for Christmas , a government minister has said .
English universities have been encouraged to offer rapid result Covid tests and end in-person teaching by December 9 so students have enough time to self-isolate before returning home for Christmas .
If a student tests positive for Covid-19 on or before this date , they must self-isolate at university for a period of 10 days , according to the Department for Education ( DfE ) .
Students who test negative @ @ @ @ @ @ @ December 9 – but who are still identified as a close contact of someone who has tested positive – will be allowed to return to their family home but they must continue self-isolation at home for a period of 14 days , according to the DfE .
The government has said Covid-19 tests will be offered to as many students as possible before they travel , but academics have warned that a roll out of mass testing will be a “ massive undertaking ” .
Meanwhile , the University and College Union ( @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ s plans are “ riddled with holes ” and they warned that the tight timescale for a mass movement of students “ left little room for error.
” Speaking to BBC Breakfast this morning , Universities Minister Michelle Donelan said it had been a “ very difficult ” term for students and that the Government wants to allow them to go home for Christmas .
She explained : “ We ’ re working with universities to facilitate as much testing as possible but our target will be those universities that have had @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that have higher R rates , also those that have higher percentages of vulnerable students such as BAME .
“ But fundamental to this plan , is the fact that the four weeks of national restrictions mean that the risk that these students pose is much more reduced .
“ That unlocks the opportunity to go home and feel a lot safer in doing so.
” Durham University is already running a pilot project for rapid Covid-19 testing – including identifying those who might be infectious but have no symptoms .
The Lateral @ @ @ @ @ @ @ delivers results in just 30 minutes , uses a nose and throat swab and they are self-administered .
So far , several hundred staff and students at two of Durham ’ s colleges have taken part in the voluntary pilot .
The university is now exploring whether it is feasible to roll out mass testing across the whole institution before Christmas .
The universities minister said : “ Let ’ s face it , it was imperative that the government made good on this pledge and allowed students to go home after the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and particularly the last term that students have faced .
“ Even when it ’ s on offer it will be a choice that students can take .
“ All of these measures are designed to help protect their loved ones and their communities , and we ’ ve seen that the majority of students have abided by the rules and regulations .
“ I fully expect that students will take up any offers that we put on the table because they too don ’ t want to endanger their families in any @ @ @ @ @ @ @ programme that will make it as safe as possible for them to do so.
” Ms Donelan confirmed that students who are told to self-isolate because one of their housemates has tested positive will be able to complete the isolation period away from university if they test negative for coronavirus .
But anyone who is traced and has a positive test ‘ will have to isolate on campus or in their university accommodation ’ .
Meanwhile , students travelling home to England from other parts of the UK will be asked to be @ @ @ @ @ @ @ for English universities .
The minister said she expected Wales , Scotland and Northern Ireland to publish their plans for students returning home in the coming days .
Talking to BBC Breakfast , she added : “ If there is an English student that is studying in Scotland or in Wales , what we are saying to them is that they need to basically be on par with English students who have gone through this four-week window of national restrictions so they need at least two weeks of refined behaviour and we will @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that , with information so they know exactly what they are to do .
“ Equally if there is an English student that is going back to Scotland or back to Wales or back to Northern Ireland they can look out for the guidance that is coming out from those countries over the next few days.
” Dr Jenny Harries , deputy chief medical officer , has said the movement of students between university and their family home ‘ presents a really significant challenge within the Covid-19 response ’ .
“ The measures @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and help students get home to their families as safely as possible for Christmas , ” she said .
“ It is crucial that students follow the guidance in order to protect their families and the communities they return to.
” However , the University and College Union ’ s general secretary , Jo Grady , said the Government ’ s plans were “ riddled with holes ” and “ raise as many questions as they answer ” .
She told the PA news agency : “ Allowing just a week for around @ @ @ @ @ @ @ country leaves little room for error .
“ If the Government instead told universities to move online now it would provide much more time to stagger the movement of students and better protect the health of staff , students and their wider communities .

themanchestereveningnews--2020-11-11--Manchester United fortunes might rely on their latest unsung hero

We are just two months into the new season but many of the same questions remain unanswered at Manchester United .
Is Ole Gunnar Solskjaer the right man for the job ?

United demonstrated such an ability with their post-lockdown form last season and although unlikely , it could happen again @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to accomplish such an upturn in events United need consistency , no more so than in a defence which has shown brief signs of a resurgence in recent weeks .
For a team which has only kept four clean sheets in their 12 matches this season it might seem overly positive to praise the recent defensive work since the last international break , but there is some logic to the argument .
United would have another two shutouts if not for freak own goals in wins over Newcastle and Paris Saint-Germain , while @ @ @ @ @ @ @ penalty which was conceded by Paul Pogba , not a defender .
The unacceptable defeat at Istanbul Basaksehir came with unsung hero Victor Lindelof out of the side , although it was he who experienced a lapse of concentration to gift Everton their lead at Goodison Park last weekend .

While it was Tuanzebe who stole the show for his display in the fine win over PSG last month, hindsight suggests it was Lindelof who gave him the security to play with such freedom and confidence against one of the best attacks in the world.
The Swede has a knack for producing his best performances against the most lethal opponents, but it is those errors like the one at Everton which continue to underpin his reputation at the club.
Yet when analysing his progress it is important to take into consideration how physically drained he has been this season. Lindelof was rested during the international break prior to the new domestic season and Sweden manager Janne Andersson also confirmed he would be rested this month after such a 'brutal' fixture schedule with United.
It is no secret United will look to sign a new central defender if the right opportunity arises next year but until then Solskjaer will be putting his faith in Lindelof ahead of the abundance of other options at the club.
It seems that in the worst case scenario the Swedish defender will drop down to third-choice at Old Trafford, but right now he has a free hit at proving himself to be the long-term solution they so desperately need.

Powell joined Stoke from Wigan last year and is a regular in their team these days, playing as a No.10.
Victor Valdes
Mourinho had a rather public spat with Valdes after his Inter Milan side knocked Barcelona out of the Champions League in 2010 so it was little surprise to see the Spanish goalkeeper leave United soon after Mourinho arrived.
Valdes spent the 2016-17 season at Middlesbrough and retired at the end of that campaign.
Will Keane
Injuries denied homegrown striker Keane the opportunity to prove himself at United and he famously was in line to play ahead of Marcus Rashford against FC Midtjylland in 2016 before breaking down with injury, He joined Hull in 2016 then went to Ipswich, before joining Wigan in the summer.
Tyler Blackett
Blackett's most memorable performance came in United's 5-3 loss at Leicester two seasons prior to Mourinho's arrival, when he conceded a penalty and was also sent off.

Paddy McNair
Another player who is mostly remembered for filling in in United's defence at the start of Louis van Gaal's first season in charge, McNair was also offloaded soon after Mourinho arrived, with Sunderland swooping for both him and fellow youngster Donald Love.

Memphis Depay
Some United fans still think the club made a mistake in selling Depay — and he may well have gone on to be a valuable squad player had he stayed — but he could be massively inconsistent, albeit talented.
Mourinho sold him to Lyon in January 2017 and that is where he remains, though he has been heavily linked with Barcelona and Liverpool in recent transfer windows.
Morgan Schneiderlin
Schneiderlin was exceptional for Southampton during the 2014-15 season but has been ordinary ever since. It's hard to recall a memorable Schneiderlin appearance for United.

Mourinho made it clear that Schweinsteiger wasn't in his plans soon after his appointment as manager.
In truth, United signed the German a few years too late and he was clearly past his prime when Van Gaal signed him in 2015.

Adnan Januzaj
"I want to tell you, I might as well do, about a boy who can do anything..."

Henrikh Mkhitaryan
Mourinho must have thought he was getting one of the deals of the century when United pulled off a swap deal involving Mkhitaryan and Alexis Sanchez.
Sanchez was awful for United but MKhitaryan was equally poor for Arsenal. The Armenian is now at Roma and bagged a hat-trick against Genoa at the weekend.
Zlatan Ibrahimovic
United got one outstanding season out of Ibrahimovic as he helped them win the Carabao Cup and the Europa League in 2017.
A serious knee injury ended his campaign early and he was not the same player when he returned the following season.

Sam Johnstone
