On #WorldCancerDay my thoughts are with every person and family affected by this awful disease.
Early diagnosis is critical so please get checked, even if your symptoms are mild.
From diagnosis to treatment we want to improve every stage of cancer services over the next decade.

There are signs of a diplomatic opening with Russia, but the intelligence we are seeing today is not encouraging.
We have a tough package of sanctions ready if Russia chooses war.
We maintain that diplomacy and de-escalation is the only way forward.

I’m hugely grateful to Sir David Attenborough for agreeing to be our People’s Advocate ahead of @COP26.

In supporting #StephenLawrenceDay we are reminded of Stephen's many talents, and our duty to stop racism and give young people the best possible future.
My thoughts are with Stephen’s parents Doreen and Neville, and the many families that have lost loved ones in their prime.

I want to say a MASSIVE thank you to the 25 million people who have come forward for their booster. Nearly 3/4 of a million people got boosted yesterday alone. A HUGE national effort.
Let’s keep going. Don’t delay. If you haven’t already – Get Boosted Now.

Sad to hear about the loss of Peter Ainsworth - a delightful colleague & passionate about his causes, especially the environment. We shared a corridor & often found ourselves charging late for the division. He has been taken far too young. My thoughts with Claire & their family.

Whether it’s recruiting 50,000 extra nurses, building 48 new hospitals or delivering a record-breaking increase in funding, this government has never been shy about its support for the NHS.
We’re taking action to deal with the Covid backlogs.

It is absolutely vital that we follow the advice:
Stay at home if you have the symptoms, or if your family has the symptoms.
Avoid unnecessary contact.
Avoid pubs, bars and restaurants.
Work from home, if you possibly can.
And wash your hands.

It was fantastic to see the doctors, nurses and volunteers doing a wonderful job at the Business Design Centre in Islington to make sure people got their jabs safely and quickly.

I'm appealing for women of all ages to help us with our Women's Health Strategy.
We know there's a gender gap in our health system, and we are committed to ending it. But we need to hear your views and experiences to do just that.

However, I would urge everyone to continue to act cautiously given the rising number of Omicron cases.
Most importantly I urge everyone to get their first, second or booster jab without delay to protect yourselves and your loved ones. 2/2

It is utterly appalling that families affected by the infected blood scandal have had to fight for so long to be heard.
Today, we are finally beginning to right that wrong. twitter.com/10DowningStree…

Making sure girls get 12 years of quality education is one of the smartest investments we can make as we recover from COVID-19.
During our @G7 Presidency I’ll be urging the world to take action and prevent a lost pandemic generation.

Celebrations sadly won’t be the same this year, but I enormously appreciate the monumental effort you’ve made in helping us to fight this virus.
