    This week we lost my Mum, aged 91yrs. She came to London 70yrs ago, met my Dad working on the buses. She always said never run after a man or a bus as there’s another one after this one!

    Very pleased to have been reappointed as Minister of State in the Department of Health. I look forward to continuing the work of rebuilding our NHS to make it fit for the future.

    Thanks to Labour colleagues and Opposition for work over recent weeks in Committee scrutiny for the NHS Modernisation Bill. Pleased to have completed this evening as Parliament rises for the summer recess.

    Great support for parents and even better to have trial in Bristol

    Q: What use is government help if you don’t know about it and can’t figure out how to use it? A: None at all. That’s why Innovation Fellow Teneeka and her team built a new portal for our free childcare offering in just 90 days - a process that historically took 18 months.

    Corridor care is not acceptable, and must never be normalised. Very pleased to contribute to this debate and to set out how the Government is undertaking the reforms necessary to end the routine use of corridor care by the end of this Parliament:
