But conference, we can only deliver recovery through reform. Without action on prevention, the nhs will be overwhelmed, without reform to services we will end up putting in more cash for poorer results, that is the choice. Reform or die. And we choose reform. Since the general election, we have hit the ground running. We hit, we inherited the farce of newly qualified gps, facing unemployment, Patients Cant get a Gp Appointment while gps couldnt get a job. We cut red tape, found the funding, and will have 1,000 more gps treating patients, that is the difference a Labour Government makes. Applause. We are banning Junk Food ads targeted at children, the first step towards making our countrys children the healthiest generation that has ever lived. That is the difference a Labour Government makes. Applause. Strikes have crippled the nhs, cost taxpayers billions, and 1. 5 million appoint. Ments cancelled. Do you know my predecessor and her minister, the previous conservative Health Secretary Hadnt even bothered to meet theJunior Doctors Secretary Hadnt even bothered to meet the Junior Doctors since Secretary Hadnt even bothered to meet theJunior Doctors since march. I called them on day one, met them in week one and in just three weeks, we negotiated a deal to end the strikes. That is the difference a Labour Government makes. Applause. Ending thejunior applause. Ending the Junior Doctors strikes and building a new relationship with resident doctors was central to our commitment to deliver 40,000 more appointments a week. But as well as getting staff back to work, we need to get them working at the top of their game. We are sending Crack Teams of top clinicians to hospitals across the country, to roll out reforms, developed by surgeons to treat more patients and cut waiting to health and back to work. That is the difference a Labour Government makes. Applause. But conference, we Cant Fix the crisis in our nhs, without fixing the crisis in Social Care. And we Cant Fix Social Care without the people who work anybody it. I loved what Keir Starmer said yesterday about his sister, a care worker, ability his determination to make sure that when she walks into Am Radio and tells people what she does for a living, that she receives the same respect as the Prime Minister. Applause. So let me tell you, as the Secretary Of State for Social Care, i wont let Keir Starmer down, his sister down orfail more let Keir Starmer down, his sister down or fail more than A Million Care Professionalsjust down or fail more than A Million care professionals just like down or fail more than A Million Care Professionalsjust like her, angela and i will deliver a new deal for care professional, a fair pay, to give staff the Status And Respect they deserve, our first step towards building a national Care Service. Applause thank you. Every day, in this job, every day, in thisjob, i every day, in this job, i see the scale of the challenge. But i also see something else. The potential of our nhs. The tories� s biggest Betrayal Wasnt they left the nhs unable to care for us today, is they left it totally unprepared for tomorrow. Advances in data mean the Health Care of the future will be more predictive, more preventative and more personalised than ever before. Detecting from Birth A Childs Risk of disease, so we can act to keep them well, spotting cancer earlier, saving countless lives, treating patients with targeted medicines. To make these advances a reality for the many, not just the few, we need following things. A universal Health Service. Free at the point of need. Able to share data, partner with innovators and adopt new technologies at scale. Such a service would be unique in the whole world. Conference, the good news is that service already exist, it is called the national Health Service. And ourjob. Applause ourjob is notjust to get the nhs back on its feet, we must make It Fit for the future and that is what our ten Year Plan for health will achieve. Conference, if we get this right, we will end two tier Health Care in our country for good, so the preventive care, precision medicine, personalised treatment are no longer just for the few but are enjoyed by the many. Applause. That future is possible but only if we act today. An nhs running on fax Machines Cant seize these opportunities, but a reformed nhs can, from analogue to digital, from hospital to community, from sickness to prevention, Reform Isntjust possible, it is happening. From Al Detecting Skin Cancer and cutting waiting times, to wait loss jab, slashing the risk of Heart Attacks for diabetes patients. But conference, to seize that potential we have to reform the nhs to make it fairer. To make it fairer. When the wealthy receive a diagnosis to make it fairer. When the wealthy receive a diagnosis they to make it fairer. When the wealthy receive a diagnosis they know to make it fairer. When the wealthy receive a diagnosis they know the l receive a diagnosis they know the best surgeons and can push to get the best care. But working people cant. If the wealthy are told to wait months for treatment, they can shop around. But working people cant. And if they peyton dollar, the wealthy can be treated with cutting Edge Equipment and technology, but working people cant. Ourten technology, but working people cant. Our ten Year Plan will give all patients rich and poor alike, the same information, the same choice, the same control. Now i know there are some on the left who cringe at this who view choice as akin to markettisation, but our party has always believed that power should be in the hands of the many, not the few. Few. To that public services exist to serve the interest of the people, the passenger, the patient above all else, that World Class Services Shouldnt just patient above all else, that World Class Services Shouldntjust be the preserve of the wealthy. So starting in the most disadvantaged area, we will ensure patients right to choose where they are treated and we will build up local Health Services so it is a genuine choice, and where there is capacity in the private sector patients should be able to go there too, free at the point of use paid for by the nhs, because working people deserve tb treated on time just as much as the wealthy. And conference, when we look round our country today, it is easy to be pessimistic. But the public have turned to us to give them hope, so here it is. We are in the foothills of a decade of national renewal, ten years in which our country and our health and Care Services will change enormously, the nhs transformed, into a neighbourhood Health Service, a digital Health Service, powered by cutting edge technology, a preventative Health Service that helps us stay healthy and out of hospital and a new national Care Service ensuring people can live dignified and fulfilling lives, that is the change that lies before us. It will take time, and it wont be easy, we will have to fight loud opposition, Sinle Emand vested interest but conference, bring it on. Applause. It is up to us it is up to us to prove that politics can be a force for good again, so let me say to every one of you in this hall, and to the millions of dedicated staff in health and Social Care across our country, we are the generation that will take the nhs from the worst crisis in its history to build an Nhs Fit for the future. We are the generation that will build a national Care Service worthy of the name. The nhs there for us when we need it, with World Class care for the many, notjust the few, that is the many, notjust the few, that is the Change Britain voted for, that is the change we will deliver together and conference that change has already begun. Thank you. Applause. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you very much. Studio that is the Health Secretary Wes Streeting there, finishing his speech On The Last Day of the Labour Party Conference in liverpool. He talked about getting the nhs back on its feet. There is a ten Year Plan, he said, to do so, we are still waiting for the details of that plan it is worth saying but he insisted the nhs would remain free at the point of use. Interestingly, the Health Secretary did choose to repeat that phrase that the nhs is broken. You would have heard this morning that my colleague the Bbc Health Correspondent reported there was concern in some quarters about the governments consistent use of that phrase, worried it would Dent Patient Confidence in the nhs but Wes Streeting did repeat it and pointed his fingerfirmly Wes Streeting did repeat it and pointed his finger firmly at the conservative, claiming that they had left the information broken and it was up to this government nhs. It is worth noting a couple of other brief point, he mentioned plans for a national Care Service, there has been lots of criticism about fact we havent had a lot of detail about plans for Social Care yet and lots of people who work in the sector say you Cant Fix the nhs unless you fix soak but Wes Streeting saying the government did want to introduce a national Care Service, he talked about ending the industrial dispute with the Junior Doctors, that was exacerbating the problem with waiting list, Again Worth remember while the chancellor was delivering her speech here, the royal College Of Nursing rejected a 5. 5 Pay Offer although they have made clear they are not planning on taking any further industrial action so the Health Secretary Wes Streeting On The Last Day of the Labour Party Conference here in liverpool.

They are pressing the government to change course but so far all the signs are the Government Arent going to, but it has led to some disquiet here at conference, we have heard from the Health Secretary Wes Streeting On The Last Day, we are ho going to hear from streeting On The Last Day, we are ho going to Hearfrom Bridget Philipson the Education Secretary and Work And Pension secretary Liz Kendall so still a few more speeches before we wrap up.
