Northampton General Hospital is an extremely important resource that everyone in our community cherishes. Doctors and nurses there work very hard to ensure patients receive the best care and we must ensure the site continues to be the very best it can be to suit the needs of the community.
More funding is needed. To that end David Mackintosh MP (Northampton South) and I went for a meeting with Jeremy Hunt MP, the Health Secretary, to discuss funding for Northampton General Hospital at the Health Department in Whitehall.
In the weeks ahead we will also be meeting again with Dr Sonia Swart, the Chief Executive of Northampton General Hospital, and I look forward to campaigning for more support for the vital services in our town.
