Vaccines save lives. That's why we're offering the MenB vaccine to around one million young people.

We're also launching a School-Aged Vaccination Taskforce with @educationgovuk.

By working together, we can help more students stay protected as they start university or college.

[NHS @NHSuk]

Booking for the MenB vaccine opens today.

If you're aged 17 or 18 or starting university or eligible residential further education this autumn, you may be eligible for the MenB vaccine.

✅ Two doses are essential for protection.

I’m really concerned that one million 11-to-17-year-olds tried vaping last year.

That’s why we’re consulting on plans to stop vapes being marketed to children and young people.

[BBC Breakfast @BBCBreakfast]

'When it's young people we don't want them to start vaping in the first place'

Health Secretary James Murray spoke to #BBCBreakfast about plans to stop vapes being marketed to children by introducing plain packaging, stopping the use of enticing flavour descriptions and moving vapes out of sight in shops

Health and Social Care Secretary @JamesMurray_ldn explains what this good news means for staff and patients 👇

[IPPR @IPPR]

Rt Hon James Murray MP, secretary of state for health and social care: political leadership is key in driving NHS transformation.

That means harnessing digital innovation and AI, and accelerating the shift towards neighbourhood health services to bring preventative care closer to communities.

[Department of Health and Social Care @DHSCgovuk]

Too many families in Nottingham were ignored when they raised concerns about maternity care.

That must never happen again.

Following the independent @OckReview, we're taking action to protect women and babies including rolling out Martha's Rule.

For patients with type 1 diabetes, blood sugar levels require constant management and can become a medical emergency.

That’s why I’m delighted a groundbreaking new therapy’s been approved for use on the NHS which could delay the onset of T1D for hundreds of young people a year.

Keir Starmer took Labour from historic defeat in 2019 to election victory just five years later.

With that power, we have been able to begin rebuilding our NHS and making it fit for the future.

Thank you @Keir_Starmer for everything you have done for the country and our party.

I am being kept updated on the collision of two trains between Luton and Bedford. A number of people have been injured and I thank first responders who are helping those affected.

The @EastEnglandAmb is working with emergency services to support passengers who need further care.

We have sent a number of resources, including air ambulance and our Hazardous Area Response Team, to a major incident on the railway south of #Bedford. We encourage people to avoid the area.

Further updates will be provided in due course. Please only call 999 in an emergency.
