Localised Health Care in North East Cambridgeshire

Steve Barclay Excerpts

Tuesday 25th November 2014 Commons Chamber

[Stephen Barclay (North East Cambridgeshire) (Con)]

The petition states:

The petition of residents of the North East Cambridgeshire constituency declares that the Petitioners believe that healthcare should be more localised in North East Cambridgeshire; further that residents of North East Cambridgeshire face long travel times and costs when requiring procedures which should be delivered locally; further that the Petitioners believe that treating patients locally brings significant benefits; and further that there is a community campaign entitled “Treat Me Local” calling for healthcare to be more localised in North East Cambridgeshire which has been signed by 1,389 individuals.

The Petitioners therefore request that the House of Commons urges the Government to ensure that the ten pledges of the Treat Me Local campaign in North East Cambridgeshire are fulfilled within twelve months.

And the Petitioners remain, etc.
