Proud Labour Member of Parliament for the good people of Aberafan Maesteg | Minister of State for Care covering adult social care, primary care, and community care in England.
Huge crowds for the Maesteg Christmas parade at the weekend - and even a dose of snow!

Our new Neighbourhood Health Centres will offer treatment minutes from home instead of patients having to travel miles to often hard-to-reach hospitals.
This is the difference a Labour Government makes.
We will transform palliative and end-of-life care nationwide to put an end to the postcode lottery in access and quality.
Our new Modern Service Framework will ensure that everyone receives high-quality compassionate care when they need it most.

Our 10 Year Plan will offer millions of carers the chance to book appointments and prescriptions through the NHS app.
Our 'Digital Front Door' will offer patients a better service, and free up doctors to spend more time with patients.
My interview with @theipaper: inews.co.uk/news/politic...
Another deal done. Another promise delivered.
This deal is good for bills, good for jobs, and good for our borders.
The Prime Minister said he would do a deal to remove the US steel tariffs, and he has done just that - and on this historic day.
Promise made, promise delivered.
A hugely significant moment for our steel industry - delivered by a Labour Government.
A productive meeting with the Minister of State for Care

We discussed issues people in Bury St Edmunds & Stowmarket have been telling me about, including: GP access, dental care and mental health.
This Government are working hard to get our NHS off its knees.
*NEW: GP announcement*
👨⚕️ £100m investment
🏥 1,000 GP surgery upgrades
📈 Up to 8 MILLION more appts each year
1 in 6 GP practices will be upgraded.
This has only made possible thanks to Labour’s investment - opposed by every other party!
Only Labour will get our NHS fit for the future.
🏠 Labour has brought 36,000 military homes back into public ownership.
It ends one of the worst privatisation deals (from 1996) & will save taxpayer £600k on rental.
Higher standards, renovation of worst homes, & a named housing officer - read the new Consumer Charter 👇

📲 Our accelerated rollout of the NHS App is making a difference.
Since July, it has:
🏥 Prevented 1.5 million missed hospital appointments
🏥 Saved 5.7 million NHS staff hours
🏥 Now used by 87% of hospitals – up nearly 20%
📰 All the details: www.gov.uk/government/n...
The last UK Labour Government got waiting lists to record lows and patient satisfaction to record highs.
It now falls to us again to rebuild our NHS.
We'll never play fast and loose with public finances, nor try to pull the wool over your eyes.
Our plan is credible, achievable and fully-funded.
