Cutting waiting times is one of my top five priorities.
We've published a new blueprint to help recover urgent and emergency care services, reduce waiting times, and improve patient experience.
Today, I’ve spoken with healthcare workers on how we'll deliver this plan.

In the first week of #EatOutToHelpOut nearly 11 million meals were discounted.
That’s more chefs cooking, more waiters and waitresses serving and over 80,000 hospitality businesses supported across the country.

Over 45,000 people illegally crossed the Channel in small boats last year.
That is unfair to those who come here legally and unfair on the British people who play by the rules.
Today’s Illegal Migration Bill introduces new laws to stop the boats.

One of the joys of my job is being able to meet some exceptional people.
Just like Dáithí Mac Gabhann. I gave him a Point of Light Award today for his tireless work campaigning to change the law for 'opt-out' organ donation in Northern Ireland.
Dáithí's Law will save lives.

Russian companies in the aviation or space industry will now be prevented from making use of UK-based insurance or reinsurance services directly or indirectly.
This measure will severely limit their access to the global insurance and reinsurance market.

6/ We are already seeing some job losses. Today I’m increasing the Universal Credit standard allowance, for the next 12 months, by £1,000 a year. I’m increasing the Working Tax Credit basic element by the same amount.
These measures will benefit just over 4 million households.

Taken 32 years but worth the wait.
Now let’s hope it lasts 😬

I'm removing some of the exclusions for business rates relief so that retail, leisure, and hospitality properties that have closed as a result of the Covid-19 restriction measures will now be eligible. gov.uk/government/new… #coronavirus

Support for the self-employed will continue with a 4th grant covering February to April, and a 5th grant from May.

9/ For renters, I’m announcing today nearly £1bn of support by increasing the generosity of housing benefit and Universal Credit, so that the Local Housing Allowance will cover at least 30% of market rents in your area.

1/ The energy regulator OFGEM has announced that the energy price cap will rise in April.
Without action this would be very tough for millions of families.
So we're going to step in and directly help people manage those extra costs with a £350 Energy Bills Rebate.
