I spent more than 10 years working on the frontline of the NHS as a doctor in A&E before entering politics. I wanted to use my experience to improve the NHS for all of us. Labour has put on hold plans to invest in our local hospitals – investment that’s urgently needed not just in our hospitals, but also in our GP surgeries, where pressure is at an all-time high. I want to drive forward that investment so our NHS staff, in both primary and secondary care, are working in first-class facilities.
