Brilliant news that there are now 14,800 more nurses than this time last year. Nurses are there for us in our time of greatest need, and we are so grateful for all that they do.
We're well on our way to meeting our manifesto commitment of 50,000 more nurses over this Parliament.

National restrictions end on 2nd December across England.
But without sensible precautions, we risk the virus escalating over winter.
So we are returning to a tiered approach, applying the toughest measures where the virus is most prevalent.

The success of our efforts, which we are already seeing, will come all the faster if we follow the guidance, maintain the basic disciplines that have got us through thus far, and together - we will beat this virus.
