It’s a real honour to be appointed Health Secretary by Andy Burnham - 27 years after I worked on the first NHS Cancer Plan as a junior health minister.
I’m looking forward to working urgently to improve maternity services, to take forward plans for social care, and to once again play a part in supporting our National Health Service, Labour’s proudest achievement.
Most of all I’m looking forward to working with the dedicated NHS staff, carers, healthcare professionals and volunteers on whom we all depend.
In leaving the FCDO, let me pay tribute to the brilliant diplomats and ministers I worked with at the Foreign Office, and to my fellow foreign ministers from across the world - for all the work we did together to support Ukraine, to recognise the State of Palestine, to keep the spotlight on Sudan and to treat violence against women and girls as the global crisis it is. The partnerships we build abroad make us stronger at home.

Thank you.
Thank you to people across Pontefract, Castleford, Knottingley & Altofts for re-electing me as your MP. It is a huge honour to represent our towns.
This election is a historic vote for Labour and it is an overwhelming vote for change after 14 years of Conservative Government chaos that has hit our communities. Now the hard work must begin.

We will remember them.
In Pontefract today we gathered to honour our veterans, to thank all those who serve and their families, and to remember all those from across our towns and across the country who gave their lives to keep us safe.

Thank you to the Royal British Legion, cadets and volunteers who have been supporting the Poppy Appeal across Pontefract, Castleford and Knottingley in the run up to Remembrance Weekend. A time to remember all those who gave their lives to keep us safe and to support our serving armed forces, our veterans and all their families too. Thank you. #wewillrememberthem🌺

It was great to join everyone at the Active Together session for cancer patients at Aspire in Pontefract last week - backed by Yorkshire Cancer Research
Providing friendly support and offering healthy exercise that keeps people stronger as they go through the stresses of cancer treatment is really important.
Part of the Government’s National Cancer Plan is about helping people who are living with cancer as well as delivering better and faster treatments and cures.

Happy Halloween!!! From BBQ and spooky face painting at Pickering’s in Ponte to the busiest day of the year at PINK in Castleford Market Spooktacular or the Pumpkin Festival at Farmer Copley’s - it’s a festive Five Towns weekend!! 🎃👻🎃

As Breast Cancer Awareness Month draws to a close thank you to everyone here and across the country campaigning to raise awareness, working to support breast cancer patients and survivors, and driving pioneering research that helps save lives.
Thank you to Pontefract and District Breast Cancer Support Group for the fabulously eye-catching bra displays across Ponte all month! And to all the clinicians, scientists and charities - some of whom I’ve met this month - who are driving forward pioneering world leading research into new treatment (including trials that can radically speed up radiotherapy treatment)
The Department for Health and Social Care is partnering with the charity Breast Cancer Now, to make it easier for women to get practical information and build confidence in checking their breasts, recognising changes, and seeking advice sooner. Plus new training for healthcare professionals and more support for women after treatment. All part of our National Cancer Plan to help save lives and support patients across the country.

We’re funding research to dramatically shorten breast cancer radiotherapy treatment.
@yvettecooper.mp visited @royalmarsdennhs to learn about a breakthrough trial, led by @icr_london.
We’ve also appointed former health minister @ashleydalton_mP to advise on delivering our National Cancer Plan.

NEW : More powers to crackdown on antisocial behaviour from today.
Thanks to a new law I drew up in Parliament, police forces and local councils now have more powers to tackle antisocial behaviour in town centres.
New Respect Orders mean stronger enforcement can be taken against repeat offenders - for example courts can ban them from town centres.
I drew up the law after talking to neighbourhood police and council officers here in the Five Towns who were frustrated that they couldn’t take action against the same small group of offenders who were causing havoc.
More neighbourhood police and more action to tackle antisocial behaviour - because Labour believes everyone deserves to feel safe where they live.

@yvettecooper.mp explains why it's important to get the free NHS flu vaccination if you're eligible.
The vaccine is offered to people at higher risk of becoming seriously ill from flu.
Search ‘NHS flu vaccine’ to check if you’re eligible and find out how to book.

People living with brain cancer need a faster route from research to treatment.
@yvettecooper.mp set out how we’ll make this happen at a @tessajowellbraincancermission event, alongside @jamesfrithbury and swimmer and campaigner @archie_goodburn.
An expert review will report within three months, followed by a national action plan.
We’re also working to get more clinical trials under way and help more people take part, making the UK a leader in tackling brain cancer.
Patients and families have waited too long for new treatments. We’re determined to go further and faster.

It was great to meet with you, @archie_goodburn. Thank you for sharing your story.
I'm listening, and we're working to make sure people facing brain cancer get the support, research and care they deserve.
