Protecting Your Health, Securing Our Future
We’ve worked tirelessly with the NHS and our MPs to secure a modern hospital for South-West Hertfordshire. Outdated facilities at Watford are making care harder to deliver. Labour has postponed the much needed rebuild of Watford and Mount Vernon, letting down Hertfordshire residents and the NHS.
Our Health Bus is bringing healthcare directly to your community, delivering thousands of extra consultations, detecting issues early, and saving lives. With an additional £3.4 million investment, we’re ensuring you and your family stay healthy.
