Text

Minister, I join you in totally condemning last week's violence. I will always defend freedom of speech and the right to peaceful protest, but that comes with responsibility. Obviously, last week, lines were crossed. Does the Minister agree that the strongest response that we can give is to stand firmly alongside our international healthcare workers and reassure them that they are not visitors to our health service but an essential and valued part of it, as are all members of our dedicated health workforce?
