I've asked the national clinical director for children and young people to look into this as a matter of urgency. ... We're not sure at the moment.

As we are now beginning to see a decline, a decrease, in the number of patients with coronavirus, it is absolutely the time to start building up our services again.

We are starting to see a plateauing - the first signs of a plateauing of infections and hospitalisations, we are beginning to see the benefits I believe but the really critical thing is that we have to continue following instructions - we have to continue following social distancing, because if we don't the virus will start to spread again.

With great sadness the number of deaths continues to be high, unfortunately that is likely to continue over the next week or two until we get on top and stop this virus.

The 5G story is complete and utter rubbish, it's nonsense, it's the worst kind of fake news, the reality is that the mobile phone networks are absolutely critical to all of us.

Those are also the phone networks that are used by our emergency services and our health workers and I'm absolutely outraged, absolutely disgusted that people would be taking action against the very infrastructure that we need to respond to this health emergency.

At the moment, I am confident the capacity is there, we have not reached capacity.

If it is less than 20,000... that would be a good result though every death is a tragedy, but we should not be complacent about that.
