The government has announced the rollout of an anti-inflammatory drug called tocilizumab, which is used for treating rheumatoid arthritis.

Health secretary Matt Hancock has said it is still “too early” to know whether summer holidays can go ahead.

He added there was still “a lot of uncertainty” but ministers were doing everything possible.

Mr Hancock also outlined plans for NHS reform which will see health and care services can work more closely together.

The proposals will follow the NHS long-term plan and Mr Hancock told MPs the pandemic had made them more urgent.

However, opponents have questioned the timing of the move.
