Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Lucy Allan and Steve Barclay

Tuesday 24th January 2023 Commons Chamber

[Lucy Allan (Telford) (Con)]

In today’s Shropshire Star, my local paper, there is an eight-page spread on what is happening to healthcare in Shropshire, which is described as a war zone. Will the Secretary of State meet me and other Shropshire MPs to discuss the challenges we face?

[Steve Barclay]

I am happy to meet my hon. Friend to discuss the issues in Shropshire. I draw her attention to the fact that we have more doctors, more nurses and more funding going into the NHS, and more people are being treated.
