RIP Dame Deborah. Her exceptional campaign to help those living with cancer won the whole nation’s admiration, and started important conversations about living with the ‘big C’.
She leaves behind an incredible legacy, and my thoughts are with her loved ones.
In 1 year at @DHSCgovuk, we've:
👉🏾Opened 90+ community diagnostic centres delivering 1 million scans to bust Covid backlogs
👉🏾Cut longest waiting times by 2/3rds
👉🏾Launched booster vaccines to live with Covid
👉🏾Progressed our largest ever investment plan for @NHSuk & social care
Language matters. I have made clear that the word ‘woman’ should not be removed from key women’s health pages.
I have been assured that the changes highlighted below, as well as others, are being reversed.

👏🏽 This new CDC in Barnsley town centre will provide quicker access to tests and checks for local patients.
Across the country over 90 CDCs have delivered 1m tests and checks as part of our plan to bust the Covid backlogs.
A new Community Diagnostic Centre (CDC) run by @barnshospital has officially opened today at @TGWBarnsley!
Over 130,000 diagnostic tests and checks have taken place across the region in CDCs since the rollout began in July last year. 🩺

Great to see innovations like this being pioneered by @CUH_NHS, with their medical students becoming the first in the world to learn with holographic patients as part of simulation training. 👇🏽

Today we’ve published the draft Mental Health Bill which will reform outdated mental health laws.
The Mental Health Bill will improve rights for people:
▶️ with a learning disability & autistic people
▶️ with severe mental illness, including those in the criminal justice system
We can be very proud of UK leadership on this. 🇬🇧🇺🇦
The international community still has much more to do in responding to this brutal ongoing invasion.

⏱ This is good news for patients as we deliver our plan to bust the Covid backlogs
The NHS has reduced 2-year waits by 2/3s since January thanks to our plan to bust the Covid backlogs. 📉
As part of this I announced a new 'right to choose'. The longest waiters must be offered an alternative provider where they can be seen more quickly.

Very encouraging results on two Omicron-adapted vaccine candidates from @pfizer and @BioNTech_Group.

The NHS in England is on track to virtually eliminate 2-yr waits, as part of our plan to bust the Covid backlogs.
2/3s of NHS trusts have either eliminated the number of people waiting 2-yrs for elective treatment or have less than 20 on the list. 👏🏽

Around 20 million lives were saved by Covid vaccines globally in the first year of the vaccination programme, a new study shows.
The power of the vaccine is undeniable - if eligible, take up the offer to protect yourself as we live with this virus.

ICYMI @sajidjavid is right - Labour attack an improving NHS in England...but it is worse in Labour-run Wales.
1-in-5 people on a waiting list, 1-in-4 of them for over a year, and 70K waiting over two years - 3 times the number for all of England... and it's getting worse!
Suicide is the biggest cause of death in men under the age of 50.
@SajidJavid met bereaved families @PAPYRUS_tweets to hear their experiences as part of the work to develop a 10-year suicide prevention strategy to reduce the number of people taking their own lives.
I met with bereaved families today at @PAPYRUS_tweets who tragically lost their sons to suicide.
No one should go through this.
I want a new 10 year suicide prevention plan that will make a difference. Share your views so we can make this happen:

I know the devastating impact of suicide after I lost my brother Tariq.
Today I spoke at @PAPYRUS_tweets on actions being taken - from refreshing the suicide prevention plan, better services for the bereaved & tech to understand the causes of suicide.

We must do everything we can to ensure that human hearts never again are allowed to breed such hatred.
It was an honour to visit the Kigali Genocide Memorial.

Nothing to see here, just a Labour whip joining a picket line as millions of people have their lives disrupted.
When we say these are Labour’s strikes, this is exactly what we mean.

This treacherous government has underfunded & mismanaged our public transport network for more than a decade.
As a proud trade unionist, I stand with all workers on our railway network who are taking industrial action to fight for their jobs & keep passengers safe #RailStrikes

5 years on from this cowardly act of terrorism my thoughts are with the family of Makram Ali and those affected by the Finsbury Park Mosque attack.
Freedom of worship and tolerance for different faiths is fundamental to our values. Terrorists will never change our way of life. https://twitter.com/BBCLondonNews/status/1538416290326491136
This Sunday marks five years since the Finsbury Park terror attack, when a van was driven into worshippers outside a mosque. Ruzina Akhtar lost her father Makram Ali. This is her first interview about what happened that tragic night.
