Imagine having to give birth in a layby because the hospital's too far? That's the reality facing women in Devon & across the country. @andyburnham will you listen to families & make sure hospitals aren't short staffed & by stopping maternity units closing in our communities?

Maybe if they weren't so busy dealing with migrants they'd have time to attend to British taxpaying patients. Just a thought.

The problem is that medical interventions are skyrocketing. These take more resources (money & staff & hospitals). Community services have been decimated. Most of the interventions are unnecessary. At the same time, mortality is increasing. We need to reverse the last decade.

This is more than systems or political policies but real lives; from cradle to end of life vital services are funded and workforce empowered. Helen have written to you and welcome your wisdom having had the pleasure of Danny and Sir Ed over the years
