ALT Wes Streeting: "I will not tolerate, under any circumstances, NHS or social care staff in any health or care setting being subjected to intimidation, harassment or racist abuse.

Really interesting appointment, most will remember Vallance from his TV appearance in the Covid era as chief science adviser. Before that he was president of R&D at @GSK - hopefully bringing in an industry expert to Govt will bring benefits to UK science.
Sir Patrick Vallance KCB has been appointed Minister of State (Minister for Science) in the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology @SciTechgovuk.
