A productive morning with Worcestershire Acute Hospitals Chief Executive Matthew Hopkins and his team discussing the performance of - and future plans for - our local hospitals.  With further discussions on the Clinical Services strategy and the emergency care improvement plans, which are paramount.  A good meeting to feed back to the Department for Health

I know our local NHS services are a major concern of my constituents and I was reassured by the plans of the Hospitals Trust to improve services and to attract and retain more staff.

Our NHS team work hard but we need to make sure they have the resources and support to do their jobs as they - and we - all wish.
