Next week's resident doctor strike in England may be called off after the union was offered a new deal.

NHS bosses are urging Rachel Reeves to allow them to raise billions for modern hospitals and equipment privately - by striking deals with developers and councils to build homes and shops alongside clinics

Bosses attack “dysfunctional” Treasury rules, but chancellor not budging

I am horrified by reports of racial abuse being directed at healthcare workers, who are doing their best for patients and their local communities. The diversity of the NHS workforce is one of our biggest strengths. Politicians of every persuasion must call out…

[Wes Streeting @wesstreeting]

What we’ve seen in recent days and weeks needs to be addressed and called out for what it is: racism.

We’re seeing it directed at NHS staff, constituents have raised it with me and friends both in and out of public life - much of it Islamophobic.

We can’t look the other way.

[Sir Jeremy Hunt MP @Jeremy_Hunt]

Vital piece in today’s i, following the today’s report from @NHSProviders. We have a duty to learn from past maternity scandals—not sleepwalk into repeating them in the name of “efficiency.” @JamesTitcombe is right: safety must never be sacrificed for short-term savings - otherwise costs will only end up higher.
