Since being elected in July 2024, I have visited many of the GP surgeries in our constituency to understand better the challenges around primary care.
When people are not able to get appointments on time, not only do they suffer, but it has a knock-on effect across local NHS services, like A&E.
This is a key concern that continues to come up repeatedly on the doorstep and I’m fighting for patients to have access to the care they need, when they need it.
