Richard Baum and Paul Ankers – the Liberal Democrat’s Parliamentary Candidates for Bury North and Bury South want to hear YOUR views on health services in Bury.
Health is one of the most important issues for local people, and we are keen to represent YOUR views on this key subject.
The Liberal Democrats are committed to delivering better care for everyone. We are:
- Improving services across the NHS, with 6,000 more doctors, lower waiting times and giving cancer drugs to 30,000 people.
- Taking mental health seriously, putting £400m extra into early support.
- Introducing the first ever cap on the cost of social care, so people don’t have to sell their home to pay for their care.
The Tories and Labour have put the NHS at risk. It was Liberal Democrats who stopped Conservative privatisation plans and reverse some of Labour’s policies which meant private health companies got special favours.
In fact, Labour paid private companies £250 million for operations they didn’t even perform. Liberal Democrats have made sure that can never happen again.
In the last year Bury has recently benefitted from an extra £9 million a year from the Government – to address a historic shortfall in funding for health services in the local area and GP services in Bury are currently receiving an extra £2.7 million to extend GP appointments to evenings and weekends at 5 locations across the borough.
