I have been contacted by some constituents as part of the
campaign ‘Protect the NHS from a US trade deal’
The campaign is against the prorogation of Parliament. I
should clarify that under current arrangements we are only losing four days of
Parliament time that we would have been sitting.
Proroguing will start a new session and new Queen’s speech,
which is the right and correct thing to do for a new government, that will
enable us to address the real issues the country needs us to like the NHS.
As it stands, this government is delivering on the NHS
– we have seen funding increases every
year I have been MP as well as millions of pounds of investment in Cornwall
including the new mental health inpatient facility for young people and the
recent announcement of a new children and baby hospital at Treliske, not to
mention the substantial increases in social care funding as announced in the
Spending Round this week.
I would rather any trade deals be negotiated by the UK
rather than be subject to EU negotiations.
Both our Prime Minister Boris Johnson and US President
Donald Trump have also repeatedly said the NHS would not be part of any future
trade deal.
The NHS has been in the hands of Conservative governments
for the majority of its time That's 44 of its 71 years. and it will always be
safe in our hands.
