Sunderland Royal Hospital has a shortage of nurses, our ambulance service is in crisis and we are having to wait longer to see our GPs.

The Health and Social Care Act, introduced by the Tories and Liberal Democrats in 2011, is causing havoc to health service provision in Sunderland. 

No matter who is in Government, Labour or Tories, I will always demand our NHS gets the vital resources it needs and that the incredible people who work in the health service are given the credit and respect they deserve.

A vote for me on 8th June is a vote for our NHS.
