Jon Ashworth will guest edit LabourList to mark NHS at 70

Jon Ashworth is set to guest edit LabourList over the next week, as the NHS celebrates its 70th birthday on Thursday.

From Monday 2nd July, the Shadow Health Secretary will write the morning email and publish up to a handful of commissioned comment pieces a day.

Keep an eye on the website for details of health policy announcements and the Leicester South MP’s own thoughts on daily news stories.

Over the next few days, contributors – from healthcare professionals and trade unionists to frontbench Labour politicians and possibly the odd celebrity – will cover a range of health-themed topics including NHS privatisation and mental health issues.
