Maggie Throup, Conservative Parliamentary Candidate for Erewash welcomed Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt to the constituency when he took the opportunity to meet key GPs for the area.
Ms Throup said: “It was good for the Health Secretary to hear first hand from our local GPs and for him to learn how they will be spending their successful bid for additional funding through the Prime Minister’s Challenge Fund.
“This additional funding will make a real difference for Erewash residents, providing ‘ward rounds’ in care homes as well as making it easier for Erewash residents to see a GP.”
Mr Hunt said: “Maggie’s NHS experience means she has a great understanding of the needs of both patients and healthcare professionals. Meeting Maggie along with key Erewash GPs gave me a great opportunity to discuss the future needs of local ‘out of hospital’ services.”
