People should be able to get the health services they need at a location convenient to them.
That’s why Community Diagnostic Centres like here in Oldham are vital.
We’re delivering extra tests to diagnose conditions quicker and cut waiting times - one of our five priorities.

Very positive meeting with @MichealMartinTD today at the 38th British-Irish Council.
I reiterated my deep commitment to the Belfast (Good Friday) Agreement and stressed my desire to find a negotiated solution to the Northern Ireland protocol.

A new policy to stand behind homebuyers: a mortgage guarantee.
Lenders who provide mortgages to home buyers who can only afford a 5% deposit, will benefit from a government guarantee on those mortgages. #Budget2021

In January I set out how we would build a better future, ensuring your priorities are our priorities.
➡️ halve inflation
➡️ grow the economy
➡️ reduce debt
➡️ cut waiting lists
➡️ stop the boats
In the last few months we've worked to deliver on those promises.
This week ⬇️ 1/6

Visiting the high street in my constituency last weekend left me with renewed optimism. Across the country, businesses are preparing and adapting, ready for the new normal.

Today I hosted the UK’s first Elective Recovery Taskforce – set up to tackle backlogs in the NHS.
I am working hard with @SteveBarclay @willquince and NHS experts to reduce wait times for patients ⤵️

The Super Deduction makes our tax regime for business investment truly world-leading, lifting us from 30th in the OECD, to 1st.
For the next two years, we’re allowing businesses to claim 130% of their new machinery cost as a tax cut #Budget2021

Evening @Ed_Miliband 👋 think you forgot to tweet about the £18.6 million announced at #Budget2021 to help level up Doncaster through the Levelling Up Fund.
There's still time though, graphic here if you need it 👇

It was great to be in Inverness today meeting rescue services and hearing more about the life-saving work they do every day.
I also sat down with First Minister @NicolaSturgeon to discuss the challenges we jointly face and how best to deliver for communities across the UK.
314
We've updated the online guidance on the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme:
For employees: gov.uk/guidance/check…
For employers: gov.uk/guidance/claim…
315
My priority now is to protect as many jobs as possible and for those who unfortunately lose their jobs, to make sure that the support is there to help them find new jobs and hopefully better jobs as quickly as possible.
316
Great to meet First Ministers @PrifWeinidog and @NicolaSturgeon today at the British and Irish Council.
Teamwork, absolute focus and collective effort will be required to deal with the shared challenges faced by people across the UK.
317
This isn’t just about kickstarting our country’s economy – it is an opportunity to kickstart the careers of thousands of young people who could otherwise be left behind as a result of the pandemic.

It's right that we reward our hard-working NHS staff.
Today's pay offer is affordable for taxpayers and continues to deliver on my promise to halve inflation.
I'm pleased staff can now get back to providing world-class care for patients. Just like they do here @StGeorgesTrust.
319
I promised to take action to make our streets safer for families across the UK.
That’s why today we’re rolling out new police tactics and looking at bringing in new laws to stamp out serious organised crime, ridding our streets of violent gang members. twitter.com/SuellaBraverma…

Great to join @DominicRaab earlier to #ClapForOurCarers. Do your bit this Easter and stay home to protect the NHS. 👏👏
323
We joke about not being able to do maths, but we’d never make a joke about not being able to read.
Our plans today bring us one step closer to changing our anti-maths mindset and ensuring every young person has the skills needed for a successful future.
324
We’re taking what works to get people into jobs and making it better.
Today we’re doubling the apprentice incentive payments we give businesses to £3,000 – that’s for all new hires, of any age. #Budget2021
