  • Letter to Rt Hon Rishi Sunak MP

    Letter to Rt Hon Rishi Sunak MP

    House of Commons London SW1A 0AA Monday 27th April 2020 Private Letter Dear Chancellor and Secretary of State, We are writing to you in regards to extending Business Rate Relief for dentists and other private and mixed healthcare providers such as physiotherapists and osteopaths during the current coronavirus crisis. These are incredibly unsettling times for all businesses. However, it is clear that many private and mixed dental practices and other healthcare providers in our constituencies are struggling disproportionately. NHSE, for example, has understandably said that all routine dentistry should cease. The very nature of the work dentists and other private healthcare practitioners undertake renders the continuation of their work impossible. Dentists which have NHS contracts are due to be remunerated for the NHS work they would have undertaken, affording them the same income stream as they have had in March 2019. However, in stark contrast, private practices have seen their income stream completely collapse, yet they continue to be liable for their existing overheads. Aside from rent/mortgage repayments, for which many commercial landlords offer limited support, their liability for business rates is proving a particular strain. The Government guidance currently states that mixed practices can furlough private dental staff in proportion to the amount of NHS work they undertake, and private practices must rely on the Self- Employment Income Support Scheme or the Coronavirus Business Interruption Loan. However, we have all received correspondence from those in the industry detailing the issues they have faced with these schemes. These are not wealthy people; in many instances they are small local practices employing one or two dental or other healthcare practitioners.

  • Levelling up Innovation

    Levelling up Innovation

    Levelling up Innovation Francesca Fraser | Will Holloway James Blagden About Onward Onward is a campaigning thinktank whose mission is to develop new ideas for the next generation of centre right thinkers and leaders. We exist to make Britain fairer, more prosperous and more united, by generating a new wave of modernising ideas and a fresh kind of politics that reaches out to new groups of people. We believe in a mainstream conservatism – one that recognises the value of markets and supports the good that government can do, is unapologetic about standing up to vested interests, and assiduous in supporting the hardworking, aspirational and those left behind. Our goal is to address the needs of the whole country: young as well as old; urban as well as rural; and for all parts of the UK – particularly places that feel neglected or ignored in Westminster. We will achieve this by developing practical policies that work. Our team has worked both at a high level in government and for successful thinktanks. We know how to produce big ideas that resonate with policymakers, the media and the public. We will engage ordinary people across the country and work with them to make our ideas a reality. Onward is an independent, not-for-profit thinktank, registered in England and Wales (Company Registration no. 11326052). Thanks The authors would like to thank Sir Mick Davis and the Blavatnik Family Foundation for their support for Onward’s Levelling Up programme. The authors would also like to thank everyone who has contributed to the thinking and analysis within this report, including former colleagues, reviewers and parliamentarians.

    9/2/2020 Covid-19 - Hansard https://bit.ly/3lFMfWj House of Lords data for 16 June 2020 is currently being processed. Data for this date may temporarily appear incomplete. [ Click here to go to p. 29 for Covid-19 request of Health Sec. Matt Hancock by MP Chris Elmore (Ogmore) for the British Share government "to start a campaign to tackle anti-vaxxers head-on" using Sir Nick Clegg and Facebook were he is now vice president. Hancock's 01 September 2020 response: "That campaign is under Volume 679 way. We are constantly looking to strengthen it. " ] 3.35 pm The Secretary of State for Health and Social Care (Matt Hancock) With your permission, and indeed your encouragement, Mr Speaker, I would like to make a statement on coronavirus. The latest gures demonstrate how much progress we are making in our ght against this invisible killer. There are currently 60 patients in mechanical ventilator beds with coronavirus—that is down from 3,300 at the peak—and the latest daily number for recorded deaths is two. However, although those gures are lower than before, we must remain vigilant. I said in July that a second wave was rolling across Europe and, sadly, we are now seeing an exponential rise in the number of cases in France and Spain—hospitalisations are rising there too. We must do everything in our power to protect against a second wave here in the UK, so I would like to update the House on the work we are doing to that end. To support the return of education, and to get our economy moving again, it is critical that we all play our part.
