Keeping up investment in Worcestershire's NHS

health

I have long advocated for a new medical school in the City and will continue to press for this in both Worcester and Westminster with my Ministerial colleagues.

The expansion of the Worcestershire Royal A&E is my top priority, and I continue to be persistent in pushing for more capital funding investment, so that my constituents can access timely, first-class care unhindered by long waiting times and financial pressures with new facilities and more funding for full time staff.

I regularly meet with the Health Secretary to press the case and will continue to do so.
