In Parliament

My hon. Friend will appreciate that I get a lot of invitations, but I will do everything I can to meet him.

I well understand why my hon. Friend has asked that question, about a matter that other Members have also raised.

My ethos is to make our NHS and social care system faster, simpler and fairer, and not just for patients but for practitioners.

The hon. Gentleman has quoted Healthwatch.

Indeed, and it was a pleasure to meet my hon. Friend to discuss the issues facing his constituents.

Again, we have heard a very loud performance from the hon. Gentleman—a typically loud performance.

My hon. Friend is exactly right.

I think it is very courageous of any Labour Member of Parliament to talk about education, because we know just how dire the education result

I am delighted to inform my hon.

That is exactly what we are doing, and not just in relation to other European nations but in relation to other countries around the world.
