I commissioned an independent review led by someone with expertise and, crucially, without pre-determined views to follow the evidence. The review was the consultation. The Leng Review listened to the breadth of workforce opinion and management, too.
We're taking action to make sure patients can access an NHS dentist when they need it - starting with the areas of greatest need. We're delivering 700,000 extra appointments, and ensuring the NHS dental budget is actually spent - which remarkably wasn't the case under last govt!
The country is shocked and utterly disgusted by the horrific scenes of mass killings and starvation in Gaza over the weekend. The Foreign Secretary understands that increasing humanitarian aid in the short term is critical. That’s why I’m working closely with Dr. Mohammed…
This terrible conflict in Gaza must end.
The suffering of civilians in Gaza has reached new depths. Alongside 25 other partners, the UK message is clear: the war in Gaza must end now. We need an immediate ceasefire, release of all hostages and a full resumption of aid. gov.uk/government/new…
Very long tweet when all you needed to say was sorry that the Conservatives didn't fund or build any nuclear power in fourteen years... Labour has got on with delivering what you only talked about.
It’s no secret that I’m a fan of nuclear power. In Government, the Conservatives ended a 30-year moratorium on new nuclear, with two new plants consented, a third agreed and a fleet of next generation small reactors on the way. Whilst Labour are paying lip-service to continuing…
The age of any real depth to political argument from this lot really is so over isn't it.
“Can you imagine saying…'I’ve got exam season coming up, but maybe I should stay up to watch this political debate'.” 16 and 17 year olds don't need the "added pressure of being dragged into politics" during exam season, says @ClaireCoutinho. @CalumAM | @RosieWright99
#FootballForAll continues with our Inclusion Football Programme, supporting young people from New Scots backgrounds to get involved in the game — proudly delivered with support from @ScottishFA ⚽️⚫️⚪️ @ScotFAWest
Robert Jenrick is using me to make cheap political point’s. More than 10 years ago, I was a young person leading calls against grooming gangs and reacting to a far-right murder. He won’t highlight my positive contributions, context or full facts. 🔎 x.com/muhbeenhussain…
Muhbeen Hussain has been caught red handed calling for a Muslim boycott of the police in Rotherham. His deranged rants are an obstacle to integration. He must be stripped of his MBE and Labour MPs should stop issuing threats on his behalf.
🚨Statement by Muhbeen Hussain In response to false claims published by The Sunday Times and others. Enough of the lies!
A UK Labour government securing defence jobs in our community. Pleased to join @IanMurray for this announcement at Faslane.
Scottish Secretary @IanMurray visited #HMNBClyde to launch the Clyde 2070 redevelopment programme🚢 Ministers, navy chiefs, & local leaders discussed how to maximise the defence dividend for communities. @argyllandbute @inverclyde @WDCouncil @RoyalNavy
Thankfully this government & @jessphillips treats women's safety and rights more seriously than we did in the 19th century when women didn't even have the vote. Curious to see @ScotNational journalists getting romantic about 19th century Tory Britain.
Always found it quite funny that they gave Jess Phillips this made-up job title. Imagine trying to explain what the Minister for Safeguarding was to someone in Disraeli's Cabinet
In our country it is unacceptable that armed police have reportedly been harassing people exercising their legal and democratic right to protest the atrocities that Israel is perpetrating against Palestinians. Today I raised this in Parliament 👇
Big opportunity for professions to work with us on the forthcoming Workforce Plan 👇🏻
Thank you @wesstreeting. There is much left unsaid in the Review, not least how, proactively, medical workforce planning now moves forward. But there are so many potentially routes to reforming this for the better. Doctor substitution was never the way. Not on on-call rotas, not…
Holding a Palestinian flag, and putting up a sign that says nothing about Palestine Action, does not mean you support Palestine Action. Whatever you think about this person's views, the law protects the right to protest peacefully in support of Palestine. The Government have…
Doctors and patients spoke. We acted. That's the difference a @UKLabour Govt makes. 👇
Physician associates who assist doctors in GP surgeries and hospitals will now be known as assistants. Health Secretary Wes Streeting says this "better describes the role that they do". Read more ➡️ trib.al/aKsx2Nx
Thanks to the Labour govt & @wesstreeting commissioned Leng Review there is now clarity about PAs. Not associates but assistants. Not independent but supervised. Patients will finally get care in a fully transparent way.
Professor Leng has now completed her review into the safety and effectiveness of the physician associate and anaesthesia associate roles. The following conclusions have been made. gov.uk/government/pub…
Credit Unions should be able to serve the communities in which they operate, with particular attention to those on low to moderate incomes. However, there is a clear imbalance between England and Scotland in terms of support for credit unions. In England, dormant assets held by…
