"The NHS modernisation bill will abolish the arm's length body that runs NHS England, allow patient records to be viewed on the NHS app and require mayoral nominees to sit on local health boards, while the draft conversion practices bill will finally deliver a promised ban on measures intended to change someone's sexual orientation or gender identity."
The government plans a reset of relations with the EU, emphasizing Brexit’s economic damage and introducing an European partnership bill with powers to fast-track legislation for new EU agreements. The bill is scheduled ahead of the next EU-UK summit and links improved relations to European security. A steel industry bill will formalize government control of British Steel after daily operations were taken over from a Chinese owner. A regulating for growth bill will enable pilot schemes to boost innovation in defence technology and AI-controlled ships. A competition reform bill will speed up regulator reviews, and a small business protections bill will raise penalty interest for late supplier payments. Additional bills aim to reduce NHS waiting lists, clear courts backlogs, and address rising special educational needs support costs, including NHS modernization and a conversion practices ban.
