Sandwell Lib Dems: NHS report is “wake-up call” to rescue health and care services in Oldbury, Smethwick, Rowley, Tipton, Wednesbury, and West Bromwich
Sandwell Lib Dems have said the Lord Darzi report into the state of the NHS must be a wake-up call for the government to rescue health and services in the six towns of Sandwell.
The report said that the NHS is in a ‘critical condition’ and that since 2015, the NHS has missed every target for A&E, cancer and hospital treatment wait times.
Sandwell Lib Dems said that the new government must urgently invest in Sandwell’s local health services with accessing care being the biggest challenge facing our area, with it being almost impossible to get a GP appointment.
In the wake of the report, the Liberal Democrats have called on the government to make fixing the NHS and care its top priority and to recruit more GPs, fix crumbling hospitals and enter into cross-party talks on tackling the crisis in social care.
