We're determined to improve employment rights for unpaid carers.
Yesterday I heard about the challenges carers face as they balance caring and work.
Our consultation is now open so carers can help shape our framework: https://t.co/k4Df75XSJL

I live in Zone 6, basically in Essex. According to Citymapper, if I set off from home for the Palace of Westminster at the same time as Sebastian Sawe, I get the Elizabeth Line and the Jubilee and he just runs, he's going to beat me there by two minutes. That is quite something.
🏥 @SKinnock visited Bristol Haematology and Oncology Centre @uhbwNHS to see how staff support patients having treatment.
Through the National Cancer Plan, we'll tackle the differences in cancer care between different parts of the country head on.

Today is a landmark day as we celebrate the Mental Health Bill gaining Royal Assent.
This significant step will ensure patients who are seriously ill get better, more personalised care.
I am proud to have led this Bill through the Commons. Let's crack on with implementing it.
I'm proud of the work we are doing to turn NHS dentisty around.
We’re increasing urgent dental appointments on the NHS by incentivising dentists to free up more time for complex and urgent dental care.
Getting an urgent dental appt on the NHS shouldn't feel like pulling teeth.
Too many children suffer from tooth decay and poor dental health.
That's why we're making urgent NHS dental care easier to access and prioritising those with the greatest need.
Improving NHS dentistry for millions of people.
🗣️ 'Would you urge dentists to take on more cases based on need rather than money, e.g. teeth whitening? - @SophyRidgeSky
🗣️ 'I would absolutely urge them to do that... we have got to make sure they are incentivised to do that' - @SKinnock
Tory neglect of NHS dentisty has left many patients having to pull their own teeth out 🦷
So we're taking action. We're incentivising dentists to prioritise complex and urgent dental care.
From April more patients will get urgent dental care thanks to our overhaul of dentistry.
For too long people have had to sit on the phone endlessly on hold to their GP. It's infuriating.
From now on, almost every GP practice in England will offer online consultations.
This is how we're making our NHS fit for the future.
We're committed to putting more cash in the pockets of our hard-working, dedicated care workers - boosting recruitment and retention.
Our Fair Pay Agreement for adult social care, backed by £500m, is now open to public consultation.
I need a series where everyone is faithful but they don’t know and slowly lose sanity each week trying to eliminate traitors that don’t exist #CelebrityTraitors
We're offering certainty to children's hospices by allocating £80m over the next 3 years.
Thank you @NoahsArkHospice for showing me how your compassionate care provides children, young people & families - with moments of joy, magic & normality at a profoundly challenging time.
We are now expanding access by allowing patients to make booking requests online - with 85% of practices already delivering this.
Sadly a rump of refuseniks in the BMA are dragging their feet, but we will never let the forces of conservatism turn our NHS into a museum.
Yesterday I was honoured to speak at the @rcgp conference where I set out how we’ve increased funding by £1 billion and recruited 2,000 more GPs.
Together we’ve made real progress, and patient satisfaction is up.

I warmly welcome the fact that this Labour government is today recognising the inalienable right of the Palestinians to self-determination, peace and justice.
I pay tribute to my friend Ambassador Husam Zomlot for his tireless advocacy on behalf of his government and people.
This #WorldAlzheimersDay I'm thinking of all those living with Alzheimer's and their loved ones – I know the impact this disease can have.
Through our 10 Year Health Plan, we are committed to delivering compassionate dementia care for all - including better support for families.
