Running the NHS is a demanding job and good managers should be rewarded for delivering results. But where patients are facing long waits and poor care, rewards should reflect performance. Patien...

Speaking to @SkyNews following the cross-party meeting on social care 👇

Social care reform is vital, but ambition and talks are not a plan. The Prime Minister must now turn warm words into a credible plan that is fair to families and clear about how it will be funded.

We’ll work constructively where the Government gets it right, but there’s no single silver bullet. Grow the economy, reform public services to deliver better value, and spend taxpayers’ money mor...

This morning on @BBCBreakfast 👇

The news of Ann Widdecombe’s death is deeply shocking. Ann was a remarkable woman who never lacked courage or conviction. My thoughts are with her family and friends at this terrible time.

It was a pleasure to attend the Asda Tickled Pink reception in Parliament this week. Earlier diagnosis saves lives, and campaigns like this play an important role in encouraging people to know the...

Yesterday, I joined @curecjdcampaign in Parliament to hear from families affected by this devastating disease. Many have faced unimaginable loss, and their voices deserve to be heard. Encouraging...

This is very welcome news. I have met so many women, including constituents, who have fought for years to be diagnosed with endometriosis and taken seriously. This could make a real difference t...

With senior doctors now voting to strike, it is clear Labour has failed to protect patients and taxpayers. Only the @Conservatives have the team, the plan and the leader with the backbone to ban d...
