Valuing local community NHS facilities

I took the opportunity to highlight the importance of making better use of local community NHS facilities, like in Bridlington and Driffield. The New Hospitals Programme is just one part of a wider picture when it comes to improving local healthcare.

I’ll keep pushing for these vital resources to be properly valued and integrated into the future of our local healthcare system.
