For too many women, a broken bone is the moment they realise osteoporosis was already there undetected, untreated.

New NHS scanners will help thousands of patients get tested sooner, start treatment earlier and prevent painful, life-changing breaks.

We're fixing the front door of the NHS.

More GPs. Same-day urgent appointments. Backed by an extra £485 million for GP practices.

Through investment and modernisation, we are rebuilding our NHS.

Farage has announced his Shadow Cabinet, with no Health Secretary.

Presumably because if he becomes Prime Minister, there’ll be no NHS.

Successive governments have failed on social care. It’s not a shortage of good ideas that’s the problem, but a shortage of good politics.

Today that changes with Louise Casey.

Britain has a social care crisis. Here’s how we’ll work together to fix it 👇🏻

Wes Streeting: I’ve put our broken NHS on the road to recovery As health secretary I’ve ruffled some feathers this year, but I don’t intend to make excuses. By July, you’ll be able to see whether we kept our promises

Since the general election, we’ve hit the ground running on the NHS: ending doctors’ strikes, starting to cut waiting lists, investing in GPs, hospices…

A lot done, a hell of a lot more to do. But as I look to 2025, I can see the road to recovery.

Today Stephen Kinnock and I announce the biggest funding for hospices in a generation:

£100 million for improving buildings, kit and technology

£26 million grant for children and young people’s hospices

An early Christmas present for hospices that do a wonderful job for families.

Junk food ad ban ‘will prevent an estimated 20,000 cases of childhood obesity’ The Government confirmed the laying of secondary legislation for the ban on Tuesday.

Obesity robs our kids of the best possible start in life, sets them up for a lifetime of health problems, and costs the NHS billions.

This Government is taking action now to end the targeting of junk food ads at kids, across both TV and online.
