North Shropshire MP Helen Morgan has challenged the Health Secretary on why frontline NHS workers are being forced to bear the brunt of an unprecedented summer crisis while the Government drags its heels.
North Shropshire MP Helen Morgan has called for extra support for farmers as they attempt to cope with a ‘cost-of-doing-business crisis’ on top of the cost-of-living crisis. The Lib Dem MP also warned about impact on farmers’ mental health, emphasising “that there's a human cost as well as a financial one for those working hard to keep Britain fed”.
North Shropshire MP Helen Morgan has warned that ambulance and A&E care is moving from “crisis to calamity” as hospital handover delays reach their worst ever levels. West Midlands Ambulance Service and the nine other ambulance trusts in England are reported to be in critical incidents and have moved to the highest possible alert level this week due to the extreme pressure they are facing.
MP Helen Morgan praised “wonderful” carers for their selfless work as she met residents and staff at a home for exploitation victims in Shropshire. The North Shropshire MP visited Serene House where she joined residents, workers and local stakeholders who support the home for afternoon tea.
Helen Morgan, MP for North Shropshire, has responded to a nationwide poll showing 61% of people are worried about dangerously long waits for A&E and ambulances. Helen said, “It’s completely understandable that people are worried about ambulance and A&E waits, which are indeed dangerously long here in Shropshire."
MP Helen Morgan has promised to force rural areas like North Shropshire to the front of the Levelling Up agenda after being named the new Liberal Democrat spokesperson for the issue.
North Shropshire MP Helen Morgan has told new ministers to focus on fixing the health crisis as she warned Government paralysis risked making Shropshire’s ambulance and A&E delays worse.
North Shropshire MP Helen Morgan said, “Boris Johnson was never fit to lead our country and he needs to go as soon as possible. People in North Shropshire made it clear they were sick and tired of the Conservative government’s incompetence when they elected me seven months ago and yet the scandals and lies have only continued."
North Shropshire’s MP demanded the new Health Secretary make fixing the ambulance crisis his number one priority as MPs from across the political divide highlighted the broken system in a debate in Parliament. Helen Morgan described the scale of ambulance delays as “absolutely shocking” as she highlighted the case of an 85-year-old woman with dementia who had to wait 18 hours.
