Today we announced 15 areas to pilot our new WorkWell service - helping around 60,000 people with the support they need to start and stay in work.
Fantastic day

Thanks to the hard work of NHS staff, today's stats show we are continuing to make progress on waiting lists.
This represents the biggest 5-month fall in over 10 years outside the pandemic.
Much more to do but we will stick to our plan to cut waiting lists.
I am pleased that after weeks of negotiations, NHS consultants have accepted our fair and reasonable offer.
My statement on why this is good news for consultants, patients and taxpayers. 👇
🚨Labour have finally admitted they would scrap our childcare plans.
