Stephen McPartland MP, Co-Chair of the APPG for Liver Health, recently hosted an event in Westminster to highlight the evolving crisis of chronic liver disease in the UK and raise awareness of the impact of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) on those with liver cirrhosis.

Stephen McPartland MP said, “Drug-resistant infections are now a leading cause of death worldwide and antimicrobial resistance (AMR) has been reconfirmed recently at the G7 as a priority issue. The UK has the potential to be a world leader in this important area and we have set out a road map in our UK’s five-year national action plan. We need politicians to ensure that there is appropriate investment and a national treatment infrastructure and further research funding so that this important research and other similar studies can continue.“

The event was held by the APPG in partnership with The British Liver Trust (BLT) and the National Institute of Health Research.

I understand the anger & frustration felt by all of us who made sacrifices, lost loved ones & obeyed the lockdown rules. Nobody is above the law & this shows everyone is held to account. The PM & Chancellor have paid fines, apologised & have my support as UK faces huge challenges

The leader in sanctions against the Russian aggressor." Proud @BorisJohnson leading the way as we #StandWithUkraine pic.twitter.com/mUpDYlhJhY

Another £30 million of funding to boost our bus services and drive down fares. On top of the 27 new zero emission buses to make our buses in #Stevenage clean and green and I am delighted to have been working closely with @hertscc and @arrivaessex to secure this. pic.twitter.com/eaVXPsNDJb

Another £30 million of funding to boost our bus services and drive down fares. On top of the 27 new zero emission buses to make our buses in Stevenage clean and green. Bus networks form the spine of local transport networks, but for decades we have been let down by poor bus infrastructure. I have been working hard to fix this and we have seen lots of improvements in Stevenage over the years, from some new buses to contactless payments. I am delighted to have been working closely with Herts County Council and Arriva to secure funding for 27 zero-emission buses, so we will have a fleet of new greener buses in Stevenage. This is all part of our plan to deliver cheaper, cleaner and more reliable service for passengers. Now, I can report that Hertfordshire is receiving an additional £29.7 million of new funding to further boost our bus services – transforming our local transport network. This will mean that passengers will get a better deal, this investment will help drive down fares at a time when people’s finances are tight.

Don’t worry! Developers & cladding manufacturers will certainly be held responsible for their failings & fixing their buildings. Leaseholders are the innocent parties & the Building Safety Bill will protect them. @michaelgove @ukcag @EOCS_Official
