Streeting's plan might get the NHS off its knees, but it needs more to get fully back on its feet
Streeting's plan might get the NHS off its knees, but it needs more to get fully back on its feet
Health
By Andrew George MP
A year ago, the government inherited our NHS in its worst state ever. Patients needlessly dying in ambulance queues, widespread failure to provide adequate and timely access to GPs, diagnostics, treatment, mental health support and basic dentistry existed alongside a crisis in social care and pharmacy too.

Setting the record straight: my full thoughts on family policy

Setting the record straight: my full thoughts on family policy
On Tuesday I attended an event for under 35s hosted by Onward, a leading Westminster think tank. I gave a short speech about family policy and then answered a number of questions from the audience. My contribution was intended to provoke debate and discussion and to encourage young people to think about an area of policy that is not often covered in Westminster. Some of my remarks have been misreported or taken out of context, which is of course par for the course in politics and always will be. But given the scale of the challenges that UK families are experiencing, and the barriers young people face to having children, I think it is important that I set out my arguments in full. What follows is an amalgamation of the short speech that I made and some of my remarks in the ensuing discussion.
