Today, in the House of Commons, I challenged the Prime Minister on the future of Mount Vernon Hospital.
My constituents rely on the services at Mount Vernon, and they are being hollowed out before our eyes. Last year, despite raising my concerns with Ministers, they allowed the Urgent Care Centre to shut. My petition was supported by thousands of my residents and people outside of Hillingdon who relied on the service. It has now been announced that the cancer centre at the site is under threat.
To date, I have received little information or seen little interest in this matter from Ministers. My question to the Prime Minister today sought to spur the Labour government into action and protect this vital local service.
The Prime Minister has committed to investigating this matter. I want to assure my constituents that I will be holding him to this promise, and I expect a response before it is too late.
