Protecting our NHS

The NHS is our greatest institution, universal healthcare free at the point of use.  I will always fight for it to uphold its founding principles as a comprehensive, integrated and public NHS that is there for all of us when we need it.

Coronavirus has demonstrated beyond all doubt just how important our health service and its dedicated staff are, but it has also revealed how stretched it has become following years of Tory under-investment.

A Labour government will build an NHS fit for the future by reforming health and care services to speed up treatment, harnessing life sciences and technology to reduce preventable illness and cutting health inequalities.
