Initial analysis of responses received suggests residents have very strong views on the importance of local healthcare services.  In particular residents are very supportive of Conservative plans to stop the scandal of mixed-sex wards, and to provide a single room for every patient who wants one when going into hospital for planned care. In Wiltshire we are lucky to have hospitals that do not have mix sex wards, however, over the country, this scandal is allowed to continue – we need change!

I am delighted with the news this week about improved NHS dental services in Chippenham, as responses show great support to ensure everyone can access an NHS dentist.

Here in Wiltshire we have suffered more than most from Gordon Brown’s NHS cuts, I am determined to continue my campaign to get our fair share of NHS investment locally, in particular to secure improvements for our local hospitals in Chippenham and Melksham.  I am proud of the NHS and am again visiting Chippenham hospital in the run up to Christmas to thank the staff for their hard work.

The Goverment plans to sell off our canals across the UK, including those in Melksham. 

The Government is putting preasure on British Waterways to sell off their canal side properties on which they make money to support the national canal system. Join me and Wiltshire Council in opposing this by signing this petition on the Number 10 website: http://petitions.number10.gov.uk/protectourcanals/
