Speeding up improvements to the NHS |
|
Patients will receive safer, quicker and more accurate healthcare thanks to the NHS modernisation bill, which will introduce the single patient record. This means all NHS providers – including hospitals and GPs – will have to share data so the right doctors, nurses and specialists across England can securely see a patient’s full medical history – no matter where they are treated. It will cut layers of bureaucracy so more time and money can be spent on frontline services. For patients, this means they will not have to repeat their story unnecessarily. It will result in safer, more co-ordinated care, and will support better care closer to home – joining up community services and helping people manage their conditions. Patients will also have more control over their care, with clear safeguards, and choice over how their data is used. |
Bringing energy bills down for good |
|
Energy independence must be a long-term goal of national security. Our nation’s energy security requires long-term investment and reform, as demonstrated by recent events in the Middle East. Increased production of clean British energy will help to ensure that enemies of the United Kingdom cannot attack the economic security of the British people. |
Ending parent-carers’ fight for support for SEND children |
|
Education Secretary, Bridget Phillipson MP, said, “In this government we see inclusion and high standards as what they are, not enemies but friends, not in conflict but in concert, one strengthening the other. We are building a system in which children grow up together, go to their local school together, achieve and thrive together… Because all children benefit from that inclusive approach, not just children with SEND.” |
Scrapping the outdated leasehold system for new homes |
|
Removing barriers to opportunity and helping people get on in life is at the heart of the government’s drive to reverse the decline felt across the country. Laws to deliver the manifesto commitment to put an end to the unfair and outdated leasehold system will give people more control over how they live in their own homes and provide stronger rights for homeowners. |
Helping small businesses to grow |
|
Small businesses will no longer be left chasing money they are already owed, as ministers introduce legislation to end the scourge of late payments and back millions of sole traders, freelancers, and family firms across the country. The Small Business Protections Bill (formally known as the Commercial Payments Bill) delivers the toughest crackdown on late payments in a generation – putting a clear duty on large firms to pay smaller suppliers on time and giving small businesses the certainty they need to keep investing, supporting jobs and growing their communities. |
