Chair of Curia’s Health, Care and Life Sciences Research Group, former Minister of State for Health, and Chair of Morecambe Bay NHS Foundation Trust, Rt Hon Andrew Stephenson CBE @Andrew4Pendle has welcomed the appointment of @YvetteCooperMP as Secretary of State for Health and Social Care:

“Yvette Cooper brings considerable experience of government and a strong record of advocating locally for better cancer treatment and support for patients and families. Her appointment comes at an important moment, with substantial work ahead on the Health Bill and the wider reform of health and social care. Having someone with her depth of ministerial experience will be extremely valuable as the Government moves from policy ambition to delivery.

My thoughts and prayers are with her family (3/3)

Shocked to hear the news a murder investigation has been launched into the death of Ann Widdecombe. Ann was a frequent visitor to East Lancashire, having made lifelong friends when she unsuccessfully contested the Burnley parliamentary seat in the 1979 General Election. (1/3)

[Rt Hon Andrew Stephenson CBE @Andrew4Pendle]

She was kind enough to speak at a fundraising dinner for me ahead of the 2010 General Election and the memories she shared of standing in Burnley and other anecdotes will always remain with me. She was outspoken, unique & it was a privilege to get to meet her several times (2/3)

[Sajid Javid @sajidjavid]

The Ockenden report into Nottingham maternity services makes heartbreaking reading.

I asked NHS England to establish this independent review as Health Secretary because families had been ignored for too long.

They now deserve not just answers, but action. My thanks to Donna Ockenden and her team.

Had my bag stolen this evening whilst on the 18:13 London Euston to Stockport @AvantiWestCoast. Apparently quite common, although first time it’s happened to me. Reported to @BTP as lots of CCTV on board, so there will be clear footage of the culprit 🤞

💭 New Opinion: Today’s Health Bill debate is about more than abolishing NHS England.

Writing for Politics UK, former Health Minister, @Andrew4Pendle argues ministers must prove NHS reform will improve patient care – not just move boxes around Whitehall. https://t.co/RG9AxZ9bsu
