it s not unreasonable for us to recognise the desire of communities to stand on their own feet. it s what take back control meant. the control people want is control over their lives and their communities. so we will embrace the take back control message, but we ll turn it from a slogan into a solution, from a catchphrase into change. we will spread control out of westminster, devolve new powers over employment support, transport, energy, climate change, housing, culture, childcare provision and how councils run their finances. and we ll give communities a new right to request powers which go beyond even that. all this will be in a new take back control bill, a centrepiece of our first king s speech. that bill will deliver on the demands for a new britain, a new approach to politics and democracy, a new approach

obviously, there are things we need to do this winter to get us through. we have argued the case for discharging patients more quickly, and there are many things we could make use of, but what we cannot do, and this is really the centrepiece of what i m trying to say is, every year we go into an nhs crisis and it just gets was and was and was, so we are in the worst one ever now. that is sticking plaster politics. we can do something to get through, but if we don t actually understand the fundamentals of change, we will be backin fundamentals of change, we will be back in the same crisis next year and the year after that. central to thatis and the year after that. central to that is the work force, and that is why we have said we will have a fully funded plan to bring in thousands and thousands more nurses and doctors et cetera, more medical staff coming into the nhs, because in the end it is the only way we will get out of this, you know, putting another sticking plaster is
