Pulse LIVE London to welcome Primary care minister Stephen Kinnock
Primary Care Minister Stephen Kinnock will address GPs at Pulse LIVE London on 19 March.
Minister of State for Care Stephen Kinnock, who oversees general practice, will deliver a speech at Pulse LIVE London, followed by a Q&A session led by Pulse editor Sofia Lind. Topics will include the new GP contract, which Mr. Kinnock helped negotiate with the BMA.
Mr Kinnock, who is the son of iconic Labour leader Neil Kinnock, was appointed to the general practice brief last summer after Labour’s landslide election win. Mr. Kinnock is also responsible for adult social care, hospital discharge, and community health. His previous shadow ministerial roles covered the armed forces, foreign affairs, and immigration.
His address comes just weeks after the Government’s first agreed GP contract deal in four years—and on the same day that England’s LMCs meet to discuss their next steps in the ongoing dispute.
