Mount Vernon Hospital

As I write this piece at the end of the Summer Recess, I wanted to update constituents on a couple of the local matters which I know many residents have raised with me.

This afternoon I was very pleased to be invited to visit the Mount Vernon Cancer Centre and to hear from the team and representatives from NHS England about the most up to date plans to reprovide the cancer services.

Yesterday I was very fortunate to be called by the Speaker during PMQs, only the second time since being elected. 

It has been a challenging start to 2021, but my work as your local Member of Parliament has continued. My Easter 2021 Update is available below. As ever, if you would like to sign up to my mailing list, you can do so on this page or by emailing david.simmonds.mp@parliament.uk. 

I recently met with the team at NHS England who are leading on this project and I do understand the issues which are at play. There was previously a clinician led review of the site, and they made a number of recommendations for how the cancer centre needs to be running going forward.

At the end of an incredibly unconventional first year in Parliament, I am pleased to share with you my annual report for 2020. If you would like to join my mailing list, please click here or email david.simmonds.mp@parliament.uk. 

It’s been a busy few weeks in my new role as the MP for Ruislip, Northwood and Pinner. In the constituency I’ve kept a packed diary, and I have enjoyed meeting with and hearing from many local residents. I’ve already held drop-in surgeries and coffee mornings in Pinner, Hatch End, and Harefield, and I will continue to host future weekly drop-ins on either Mondays or Fridays in each ward. It’s been brilliant helping tackle individual concerns and discussing both local and national issues.

This week in the House of Commons Chamber I raised two questions with the Department for Health and Social Care’s ministerial team, which you can watch here.
