I know that we are all concerned about the recent outbreak of the coronavirus COVID-19. It is the biggest public health emergency in a generation and it calls for dramatic action - at home and abroad - of the kind not normally seen in peacetime.

Matthew has taken the opportunity to meet with renowned peace activist Sri Sri Ravi Shankar to discuss his recent initiatives in Ireland, Columbia and the Vatican.

Matthew has welcomed the pledge in the 2019 Conservative Manifesto to create 50 million extra appointments in GP surgeries each year.
