Among her priorities, she said she would double the number of medical school places"so our NHS has the doctors that it needs" - and also double the number of district nurses and create 10,000 more nursing and midwife places every year.The shadow chancellor said the new vacancies - which include 5,000 new health visitors - will be funded by bringing back the 45p income tax rate cut introduced by the government last week.
She said she will scrap business rates and reform how businesses pay taxes so they"get valuation discounts straight away rather than waiting for years for their money back".
