🚨 Torbay’s Coronary Services Must Stay! 🚨 The fight to protect Torbay’s PPCI coronary services is far from over. Moving this life-saving heart attack treatment 24 miles away to Exeter will create dangerous delays in emergency care—putting lives at risk. I’m urging local health bosses to rethink this plan, but I need your help. Every name added to the petition sends a powerful message—our community deserves accessible, urgent healthcare right here in Torbay. šŸ–Š If you haven’t signed the petition yet, please do so today! Together, we can make sure Torbay residents continue to receive the care they need—when and where they need it most.

Alongside fellow local Lib Dem MPs, I’ve written to the Devon Integrated Care Board to formally urge them not to proceed with the Test of Change that would move primary Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (pPCI) procedures to Exeter. Torbay’s cardiologists have shared serious concerns about this proposal, and I believe patient safety must come first. I’ve called for a more inclusive approach—one that fully consults with Torbay & South Devon NHS Trust (TSDFT) before making decisions that could impact lives. This fight isn’t over. We need accountability and a health system that listens to the experts on the front lines. Add your name to my petition by going to torbaylibdems.org.uk/campaig…

Today I have pressed the Health Secretary with an urgent question, requesting he meet with me and other local MPs to discuss the proposed relocation of coronary services from Torbay Hospital to Exeter. I'm deeply concerned this move risks patient safety for Torbay residents. I'm disappointed that my request for a meeting was declined. I'm now demanding meetings with local health bosses to directly address these concerns. Watch below

I've raised serious concerns about proposed changes to Torbay and South Devon Cardiology Services. 🚨 I'm demanding an urgent briefing and data on the decision to temporarily move out-of-hours PPCI services to the Royal Devon and Exeter Hospital. Patient care MUST be the priority, and services need to stay at Torbay Hospital. #SaveOurServices #TorbayHospital #Cardiology šŸ„ torbaylibdems.org.uk/news/ar…

What is our biggest fear? To be told you will die and soon? There is no hope, nothing anyone can do? For my lovely Jess this became her reality. There was no time to fulfil a bucket list or even celebrate a last Christmas. 🧵1/3 metro.co.uk/2024/05/21/docto…

South West Water’s response in Brixham needs to be faster. Residents should not have to be going without safe drinking water. I hope to see the system back up and running shortly & the compensation level increased beyond the current Ā£15.

it is crucial for leaders to pay attention to the silence of their most passionate employees and take steps to address any underlying issues that may be causing their disengagement.

This. It’s not the big issues, it’s the constant detail that just never gets addressed, month on month on month.

Today there is a huge lesson for all of us working in the NHS. Speak up. Keep speaking up. Our patients are relying on all of us to keep speaking up, and to take action when others speak up.
