On Tuesday, I welcomed some of our local healthcare visitors, and those currently in training, to Parliament.
Their passion for the work they do and the importance of early years’ care more generally shone through.
During the meeting, I also took the opportunity to underline my continued support, including lobbying colleagues and Ministers to ensure that they’re able to continue to carry out their important work with the right resources and capabilities. Early years intervention is incredibly important and it's vital we do all we can to protect it and the outcomes it produces - both for children, parents, and more broadly, society.
