Welcome to the last newsletter of October!
Once again I've been hard at work in my role as Public Health Minister. On Monday I joined the Prime Minister and Health Secretary in launching the largest ever public consultation on the future of the NHS, as we get on with the task of rebuilding it.
Back home in Gorton and Denton I'm delighted to announce the return of the ever-popular Local Business Awards, which you can find out more about below.

Tameside Together Event
It was a pleasure to speak at the Tameside Together event, alongside the Deputy Prime Minister, Angela Rayner, Lord Wajid Khan, members of the community, representatives from local organisations, Greater Manchester Police, and the new leaders of Tameside Council.
Following the horrific violence seen earlier this year, it was an important moment for communities from across Tameside to gather, discuss, learn and celebrate one another.
The Labour Government remain committed to building a stronger, more connected community, through collaboration and compassion, as we are here in Gorton and Denton.

The consultation will be the largest national conversation on the future of the NHS since it was founded in 1948, and we want to hear from experts, NHS staff and members of the public to help shape the 10 Year Health Plan.

London Science Museum Health Event
It was great to meet organisations, charities and other representatives at an event at London Science Museum.
Earlier in the week we launched our consultation to shape the 10 Year NHS Plan, it was fantastic to discuss these plans and to hear so many brilliant ideas from across the sector.
