The Bucks Free Press has reported on a campaign to return an A&E unit to Wycombe Hospital. I took the decision at the General Election to tell the truth as I understand it: Wycombe will not, and should not, see the return of an old-style A&E which would take medical care backwards.

[This is broadly what I said at the count in High Wycombe on 8 May: I did not have a script and a recording was not taken.] It is a privilege and joy to be re-elected to represent Wycombe in Parliament. I am grateful to the electors of Wycombe for sending me back. It is humbling to see the ballot papers laid out at the end of the count. Not just because I see now how many people have placed their trust […]

Via Share the Facts, Getting Britain back to work: Creating jobs is at the heart of our plan, and the plan is working – with employment now at an all-time high.
