Lisa Smart MP with paramedic team Jack and Jade

Lisa Smart MP inside the paramedic team's ambulance.

Thanks to Jack and Jade who took me out to see what life as an emergency paramedic team is about. They were excellent, although it brought home what support is needed to stop NHS staff from being restricted by the conditions in which they sometimes work. #LisaSmartMP #NHS #SteppingHill #Health

Lisa Smart MP asking a question in Parliament.

When it comes to early assessment of health needs, too may people end up putting off their health needs until it is critical, which is why it is essential to get more training professionals in the right posts. #LisaSmartMP #NHS #SteppingHill #Health

I have been asking questions about MRI capacity, following cases from local residents. While there is money in the budget, it looks like it has to cover an awful lot of elements. It will be interesting to see how much is actually delivered. #LisaSmartMP #NHS #SteppingHill #Health

Lisa Smart MP at the emergency drop off point at maternity which has already been improved after discussions with the team.

Really positive news that Stepping Hill are reviewing the seating at drop off and pick up points to make it easier and safer for residents, after we spoke to them on behalf of a local resident. Previous improvements have included working on these bays at maternity. #SteppingHill 🏥💺🚑

This week:

Put forward an amendment to Parliament to make water company senior managers liable for not meeting pollution performance commitment levels 🚰. Sadly the Government did not support it.

I spoke in Parliament this week as part of the opposition day debate on hospitals – and in particular the direct impact that the state of the buildings at Stepping Hill is having on individual patients. #NHS #SteppingHill #HazelGrove

I asked for more support from Health Secretary Wes Streeting for a new hospital site in Stockport town centre, keeping up the pressure of our campaign to deliver the Stepping Hill hospital we need, and the health services you deserve #LisaSmartMP #HazelGrove #SteppingHill #NHS
