Jess Brown-Fuller has been appointed as the Liberal Democrat spokesperson
Chichester MP Jess Brown-Fuller has been appointed as the Liberal Democrat spokesperson for Hospitals and Primary Care. The Liberal Democrat party is now the third largest party in the House of Commons with 72 MPs.
Her appointment comes as figures just published show that the number of four week waits for GPs in West Sussex so far this year has exceeded 195,360, according to the House of Commons Library.
Jess says “While we recognise the need for reform across the NHS, we cannot starve it of funds in the meantime and the Liberal Democrats are urging the government to provide sufficient funds in the autumn budget to allow patients to see their GPs when they need to”.
“The Liberal Democrats as a party, and I as its primary care spokesperson, will be campaigning for everyone to have a legal right to see a GP within 7 days, by recruiting thousands more GPs. GPS are the gateway to our entire NHS system for patients and it is scandalous that the UK has less GPs per head of population than most other high-income countries in the world,” Jess pointed out.
