Sandbach, Cheshire
Joined February 2011
It is hard to overstate how concerning this is. @AlderHey appears to be using physician associates - not doctors - to see children independently in surgical outpatient clinics. No medical degree. No post-grad paediatric qualifications. Just PAs, “flying solo” on your kids.
Independent PA-led surgery clinics at @AlderHey?! More worrying details are emerging about the unsafe use of Physician Associates by @AlderHey - Only three months on the job training before "flying solo" - Replacing registrars and consultants - Listing patients for surgery

I don’t know how someone who presumably wants to be Prime Minister says “not all cultures are equally valid” and doesn’t get asked about it on TV. Baffling interview.

We will stabilise the economy. We will fix the foundations. We will deliver the mandate of change and build a Britain to last.

Eight hundred years of the post of Chancellor of the Exchequer. Every one, a man. On July 5 this year, we changed that.

Brilliant work from my Labour MP!
I'm calling on the government to review the eligibility threshold for Pension Credit by co-sponsoring this Early Day Motion. I said this week that I'll work to get more support for those pensioners just above the threshold, and that's what I'm doing.

Sandbach's newly-elected town councillor, Colin Storey, has launched a crowdfunder for £5000, to get a bleed control kit at the same building as every defibrillator in Sandbach👇#Sandbach

Labour Police and Crime Commissioners are absolutely united. There is no excuse for thuggery we’ve seen across the country and those involved should expect the full force of the law.

Great to be out this afternoon talking to residents in Elworth with our brand new Labour MP Sarah Russell. So many really positive conversations about the difference that Labour councillors working with a Labour MP will make. #labourdoorstep

This is having a particular impact on GP appointments and electronic prescribing. Please bear with your local GPs if they’re grappling with this on top of normal pressures. My department is working closely with colleagues across government.
Many people are being affected by today's IT outages impacting services across the country and globally. Ministers are working with their sectors and respective industries on the issue. I am in close contact with teams coordinating our response through the COBR response system

Delighted to have submitted my first written parliamentary question. Crewe must be at the heart of efforts to improve connectivity between the North and the Midlands 👇

I met the leader of the BMA’s GP committee today, to listen to their concerns. GPs have been neglected for too long. They are under-resourced, struggling to cope, and patients pay the price. I am committed to fixing the front door to our NHS. https://t.co/ZbnNkPO5Eq
🤝 This morning Health and Social Care Secretary @WesStreeting met with @Doctor_Katie, chair of @TheBMA's GP Committee, to discuss this government's commitment to bring back the family doctor and help patients access the care they need within their community.

Thank you to everyone who has put their faith in me. For those that voted for other parties, I will be your voice too. I am so grateful for the opportunity to represent my home. I can't wait to start working for you.
