As my incredible team and I prepare for the first full week of the formal General Election campaign starting tomorrow, I would like to say a huge thanks to them and, most importantly, to the many residents of Keighley and Ilkley who have already indicated their support for our efforts come polling day on Thursday 6th May.
Yesterday marked a very special day on the campaign trail as we went out and about in Keighley and Ilkley town centres and beyond to talk to local people about what a Conservative Government would do to improve the NHS.
These plans include:
- increasing spending on the NHS every year over and above inflation
- ensuring the NHS focuses on the treatment of patients, not box-ticking
- giving patients more choice
- stopping the spread of hospital infections
- ending the scandal of mixed-sex wards
- increasing the number of single rooms in NHS wards
- making sure cancer patients get the drugs they need
- restoring access to an NHS dentist to a million people
- free dental checks for all school children and
- providing 4,200 more health visitors across the country
Under David Cameron, the Conservatives have become the Party of the NHS and I was delighted at the excellent and warm response our plans received from local residents.
