The Royal Free Hospital

• I AM consistently blown away by the efforts of staff in our local health services, who have been working tirelessly to keep us safe.

The talent, bravery, and dedication they have shown throughout this pandemic has been an inspiration.

The heroic work of staff in the Royal Free Hospital has been on display in the latest series of Hospital on the BBC, which I would encourage everyone to watch on catch up if you missed it live.

I paid tribute to the hospital workers in parliament last month and I will continue to do everything I can to get doctors, nurses, and all staff the support they need.

The great news about vaccines has been a ray of light at a dark time and I’m very proud that the Royal Free has been chosen as one of the first “hubs” for the vaccine roll-out.

We are still a long way from being able to return to normal, but this gives us all a flicker of hope that we won’t have to endure the hardship and pain of this pandemic indefinitely.

It is fitting that the brilliant workforce at the Royal Free who have been on the front line against Covid-19 will be the first to start bringing it to an end by distributing the vaccine.

Thank for all that you are doing.
