Bringing Southampton voices to the 10 Year Health Plan

The Government launched Change NHS to hear your views, experiences, and ideas, which will shape a new 10 Year Health Plan for England. Since then, the biggest-ever conversation about the future of the NHS, with over 220,000 contributions from the public and health and care staff, has taken place.

I was proud to host a workshop at Oakley Road in Southampton, bringing together colleagues from Hampshire and Isle of Wight Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust’s Southampton and South West (SSW) division, along with our incredible local community, to hear how we can best protect and future-proof the NHS for everyone who works in it and uses it right here in Southampton.

Bevois Town to be one of 750 schools in first wave of free breakfast clubs

Labour is delivering on our promise to roll out free breakfast clubs to all primary school children, starting with 750 early adopter schools beginning in April this year.

Details of early adopter schools were announced earlier his week and I am absolutely delighted that a school in Southampton Test will be taking part in the first wave.

A massive congratulations to Bevois Town Primary on their successful application!
