Since 2015, GP surgeries have had to serve hundreds more homes each, and over a thousand practices have closed.
We are calling for a new approach: no doctors, no development. When new homes are built, they must come with new, expanded GP surgeries — properly funded and ready before people move in.

Happy Easter to all those celebrating or hunting Easter Eggs.
Totally agree with @eddavey.libdems.org.uk I trained as a midwife in 1978 in Edinburgh and it was routine for every woman in labour to have individual care. In my view the simple solution is to employ and train more midwives. False economics not to as NHS will be sued when tragedies sadly occur.

Reform is rapidly becoming a sequel to the Conservatives with an even worse cast and terrible plot. Anyone thinking of voting for them should remember how the Tories broke Britain, the damage to our NHS, our schools, the sewage in our rivers and Liz Truss’s disastrous budget.
Another traitorous rat abandoning a sinking ship.
Happy New Year!

Today is White Ribbon Day, a day for action to help towards the Elimination of Violence against Women and Girls. Sadly, recent events in Smethwick and Walsall show that this is needed.
This would be a good start, and would reverse some of the damage leaving the EU has caused.
