The Guardian has published a series of corrections and clarifications to recent articles, addressing factual inaccuracies and providing updated information for readers.
Key Corrections on NHS Spending and Global Water Stress
In a notable correction, it is specifically the NHS in England that is reported to be £164 million a year over budget on ADHD services, not the NHS across the entire United Kingdom as previously implied. This clarification follows an article titled "Proportion of people in UK given ADHD medication triples – study," published on 22 January.
Additionally, a correction has been issued regarding global water stress statistics. Of the world's 100 largest cities, 38 are experiencing "extremely high water stress," not 39 as stated in an article from 22 January titled "Half of world’s 100 largest cities ‘experiencing high levels of water stress’."
Other Recently Amended Articles
The corrections also extend to several other articles, which have been updated to ensure accuracy. These include:
- A story about a California woman who delivered a healthy baby after an "essentially unheard of" ectopic pregnancy.
- An article titled "The pet I’ll never forget: Bosko the great flying cat inspired my art – and delivered me from grief."
- Coverage of Spain's rail network under scrutiny after a second deadly crash in three days.
- An analysis on why Trump's options are limited when it comes to using force against Iran.
- Reports on traces of a cancer-linked pesticide found in tests at UK playgrounds.
- A study finding that pesticides may drastically shorten fish lifespans.
- An article on VIP viewing in cinemas, which are betting on luxury bars and beds to usher in a new film era.
