Commons debates

The hon. Gentleman makes an entirely reasonable point. Pay is important—people have to be able to pay their bills and lead a good life—but so too are their working conditions. I am...

Resident Doctors: Industrial Action

Commons debates

I entirely agree with my hon. Friend. It will be patients who suffer the most. I also urge the BMA to consider the impact on its whole membership, because it is other staff who are left picking...

Resident Doctors: Industrial Action

Commons debates

We will not be reopening this year’s pay award because we simply cannot afford to, and it would not be fair on others in the NHS workforce, regardless. I honestly do not regret the deal...

Resident Doctors: Industrial Action

Commons debates

I thank the right hon. Gentleman for his question. He is that rare beast: a Tory trade unionist. He raises the serious point of the consequences of strike action. I will, of course, keep the...

Resident Doctors: Industrial Action

Commons debates

In all honesty, I am afraid I cannot give my hon. Friend that assurance. NHS finances are precariously balanced. We have been relative winners across the Budget and the spending review set out by...

Resident Doctors: Industrial Action

Commons debates

First, I think that the right hon. Member’s opening statement and the response across the House underline to the BMA and the resident doctors committee that they do not have support across...

Resident Doctors: Industrial Action

Commons debates

I strongly agree with my hon. Friend—he is absolutely right. I am happy to stand corrected, but there is genuinely no historical precedent in the history of British trade unionism for a...

Resident Doctors: Industrial Action

Commons debates

I am grateful to the Liberal Democrat spokesperson, and I think I can reassure her on a number of fronts. First, she is absolutely right to call out the disgrace that is corridor care. Despite...

I completely agree with my hon. Friend. I urge BMA members to consider not just the significant progress that they have already made by working with a Labour Government, but the wider context in...

Resident Doctors: Industrial Action

Resident Doctors: Industrial Action

Commons debates

Thank you, Madam Deputy Speaker. I will move to closing. I did share the statement in advance, including with Opposition parties and the Speaker’s Office. I just say to resident doctors,...

Resident Doctors: Industrial Action

Report on patient safety across the Health and Care landscape in England

Department of Health and Social Care

Written Ministerial Statements

I would like to update the House on Dr Penny Dash’s report on patient safety across the health and care landscape in England. In September, Dr Dash completed her review of the Care Quality...

NHS 10-Year Plan

Commons debates

I knew exactly where that question was going, because my hon. Friend has been such a strong champion of his constituency since he arrived in this place. I am committed to rolling out...

NHS 10-Year Plan

Commons debates

I can certainly give my hon. Friend that assurance. It is precisely because of examples of the sort that he has shared with the House that we have to get this right, so that we relieve families...
