Many people complain about the NHS being too centralised, with too many layers of approval and process.
The good news is I think we can do something about it.
Glad to return to Twitter with a piece kindly hosted by the @NuffieldTrust.

Pleased to see a new Mental Health Act in the King’s Speech today. The Wessely review in 2018 for the GovM I was proud to serve in and a number of @Conservatives administrations have done the hard work in modernising the Act. Credit to @Keir_Starmer for finishing the job.

Dementia is a life-changing diagnosis, but hopefully someday it won't be.
That's why we're doubling dementia research funding, including this new £50m @NIHRresearch fund.
Amazing trials, research & treatments may forever change what this disease means.
