BREAKING NEWS! I’m delighted to announce the Conservative Government have awarded £36 million to upgrade the A&E at Walsall Manor Hospital. I’ve been fighting for this in Westminster since being elected and we desperately need the investment in Walsall. The demands on the A&E have been ever increasing and this structural improvement will make a real difference to the number of people who can be treated at the hospital. Hundreds of thousands of people will benefit over the lifetime of the upgrade.

The Government have also pledged a further £25 billion in funding for the NHS so I am hopeful that this funding will allow further staffing of the A&E alongside the new building. Thank you to everyone who supported my campaign – we’ve put Walsall back on the map in Westminster.
