A local health campaigner Manuela has made standing up for our NHS her top priority. Years of under-investment from the Conservative Government have left our NHS on life support.
Our ambulance station has closed, Stratford town doesn't have an A&E department anymore, and the in-patient ward at the Ellen Badger Hospital in Shipston is now facing complete removal. Residents are waiting weeks for a GP appointment, and operations are being delayed. Our constituency deserves better.
The Liberal Democrats' plan would guarantee people can see a doctor quickly. We’d introduce a new 24/7 hotline so people could book a GP appointment anytime.
We will also increase medical training places, and improve recruitment and retention for GPs and other health care workers. Liberal Democrats are also fighting for a fair deal where mental and physical health are treated equally.
