• The Joseph Rowntree Foundation has informed us of an error in its latest calculations for the minimum income standard, quoted in an article last week. To “live with dignity”, a single working-age adult is estimated to need a minimum of £28,000 a year, rather than £26,800 as reported, while a couple with two children need £69,400, not £66,200, between them (NHS queues mean ‘most people expect to go private’, p1). In the same article we misnamed the Private Healthcare Information Network as the Private Hospitals Information Network.
• The British swimmer who won bronze in the Paralympics 200m freestyle S14 is Louise Fiddes, not “Finnes” (Three golds and two world records in just 40 minutes on Great Britain’s Super Saturday, 1 September, p14).
• An article incorrectly referred to King Harald V of Norway as “Crown Prince Harald”; and to his only daughter, Crown Princess Märtha Louise as his “eldest daughter” (A fjord fiesta, 1 September, p5).
