Steff Aquarone MP responds to King’s Speech: Fixing rural health services must be at heart of govt agenda

"Laws to start tackling the crisis in our mental health services and stop filthy sewage being pumped off our precious coastline are welcome.

“However, we need to see more action to tackle the immense challenges facing North Norfolk communities after years of Conservative chaos, especially on health and care.

“The Conservatives completely neglected rural health services for y7ears, leaving all too many people here struggling to see a GP or NHS dentist when they need to.

“This crisis has to be addressed and I will be pressing ministers every step of the way to put our NHS and care at the heart of their agenda. 

“We must see urgent action on protecting, strengthening and enhancing rural health services. People in North Norfolk simply cannot wait any longer.”
