Editorial 23 August 2024.
A new Alzheimer’s drug has been “blocked for use on NHS” and the BBC has sacked one of its presenters – these are the top stories on Friday’s front pages.
The papers react to news that the new drug will not be available on the NHS due to costs with most papers reacting with shock and outrage. The drug was deemed efficient at slowing Alzheimer’s disease.
News that the BBC has sacked presenter Jermaine Jenas after complaints were made over ‘inappropriate behaviour’ makes the front page of the tabloids – and a common sidebar article for the broadsheets.
Elsewhere, several of the papers lead on other domestic topics including ongoing discussions around the recent GCSE results, ongoing disputes over public sector pay, Britain’s overcrowded prisons and other issues facing the government.
