We're delivering 2,500,000 more NHS dentist appointments - and the biggest sustained increase in dental school places since 2007, with a dental school in every region. Lots done, lots more to do on NHS Dentistry - incl. reforming dental contract - but we're making progress.

'Free speech champion' Nigel has hurty feelings, because we called out his deeply un-British plan to deport migrants who've legally worked in our NHS for decades & paid their taxes. We're told we're 'inciting violence'(!) against a man who said he'd "pick up a rifle" over Brexit

The most common hospital admission for 5-9yo children in England is for tooth decay! A truly Dickensian state of affairs. So we're taking action - 700,000 new dentist appointments, ending 'dental deserts', supervised toothbrushing for 3-5yos, and reforming the dental contract.

We've achieved more in 14 weeks than the Tories managed in 14 long years. We're delivering 2m more hospital appts, 1000 more GPs & a fair pay agreement for care workers. And crack teams of clinicians are busting the backlog - taking the best of the NHS to the rest of the NHS.

From now on patients can request GP appts online, 8am-6.30pm. Big step towards ending 8am scramble👍 Many GPs already offer this, yet the BMA is threatening to oppose… We will not let the forces of conservatism turn our NHS into a museum. We will always stand up for patients

Yesterday we had a 3 hour debate on primary care, and heard not a word of humility or contrition from the Tories. Where was their apology for 14 years of bringing our NHS to its knees??? Labour will get our health & care service back on its feet, and fit for the future.

We are launching a national rollout of the chickenpox vaccine on the NHS for children from January. I urge parents to take up the free jab when invited to protect their children against the disease - helping to keep them in nursery or school, giving parents peace of mind.

The quicker the diagnosis ➡️ the better the treatment. This week I was proud to announce that 100 community diagnostic centres are now open 12 hours a day, 7 days a week. From X-rays to CAT scans, we're building an NHS that fits around your busy schedule.

Many more people are now booking GP appointments online. We're saying goodbye to the 8am scramble and hello to an NHS working better for patients. Patient satisfaction is going back up under Labour. Still more to do, but we are building an NHS fit for the future.
