Andy Burnham: “I said in my lifetime and I’ve said that I’m not going to pull back from that.”

I want Britain to be the country that makes the breakthrough and delivers the cure for dementia the world has been waiting for.

If the UK wants to build global companies, we need to be globally competitive. To do that, we cannot have Britain's start-ups simply sell up.

So I can confirm today we will legislate to make sure that non-compete clauses will no longer be a barrier to hiring for our most promising start-ups and scaling firms.

This investment goes hand in hand with our plans for a National Care Service, helping ensure that people living with dementia get the care and support they need.
