I welcome today's news of the Martha's Rule rollout and pay tribute to Merope and Paul, Martha’s parents, for their incredible campaigning - I am delighted to have been asked by the Secretary of State to chair a stakeholder oversight group with NHS England and DHSC

You said we did we have extended the SEND exclusive soft play sessions for the Thursday evenings in the Easter Holidays. No need to book just turn up reminder the bunyan centre is a cashless venue.

I am a Director of Public Health and am double #vaccinated & #boosted. My husband is a transplant recipient protected by 4 jabs and our 8 year old will soon get her first. Vaccination is the best way to stop people getting seriously ill from #covid. It's never too late. @ADPHUK
