Even in the historic surroundings of the Dorchester Library, I know that for many of us, our hearts and minds will be with Ukraine.

We’re now seeing the beginnings of a humanitarian and medical disaster, just a short flight from London. In recent days I’ve been in close contact with my counterparts to offer not just solidarity, but support.

I’m pleased that yesterday, the sixth shipment of vital medicines and medical equipment from the UK touched down in Poland – now on its way into Ukraine.

The Prime Minister and every part of government will be working closely with the Ukrainian government to establish what they need and we stand ready to help them in every way that we can.

I am so proud of these efforts — and of all the people who’ve rallied around the many Ukrainians we’re lucky to have working in the NHS and social care – a reminder of the incredible diversity of our workforce.

This half term, I hit the road and travelled over 1,000 miles on my ‘Road to Recovery’ tour.

I was visiting hospitals, laboratories, vaccination centres and care homes, all around the country.

No matter where I was – rural or urban – I saw the very best of modern Britain.

Nurses, doctors, GPs, vaccinators, porters and so many others have put everything on the line to care for people through this pandemic – and I wanted to thank them personally.

I saw their incredible teamwork, resilience, and compassion.

I also heard about challenges, both old and new, and some of the innovative things we’re already doing to face them.

It showed how recovery and reform must go hand in hand.

In September, we set out our plans to put Adult Social Care on a sustainable footing.

Today, I want to set out the reforms we need to make in health – and I’m honoured to talk about it with such a distinguished group.

It’s not something I can do in a short amount of time.

When I was putting this speech together, one of my team asked I’ve I’d deliberately made this speech so long because I never got to deliver a budget!

William Gladstone’s 1853 budget lasted nearly 5 hours – I promise I won’t go on for that long! But I hope you’ll forgive me if I avoid the usual soundbites and use this address to get into some depth on those challenges and changes.
