Clive Jones backs new manifesto with NHS at the heart 

The Liberal Democrats have launched their General Election manifesto and outlined a plan to save health and care services. The manifesto offers a bold and fully costed £9bn plan to tackle the health and care crisis. 

The bold plan to save the country’s health services includes:

- Giving everyone the right to see a GP within seven days, or within 24 hours if they urgently need to, with 8,000 more GPs to deliver on it.

- Guaranteed access to an NHS dentist for everyone needing urgent and emergency care, ending DIY dentistry and ‘dental deserts’.

- Boosting cancer survival rates and introducing a guarantee for 100% of patients to start treatment for cancer within 62 days from urgent referral.

The Liberal Democrat manifesto also includes a plan to overhaul the water industry and tackle sewage pollution, a dedicated mental health professional in every primary and secondary school and a return to community policing including a new burglary response guaranteed to tackle unsolved crimes.  

Clive Jones, the Liberal Democrat Parliamentary Candidate for Wokingham, said:
“Families, pensioners and young people across Wokingham are fed up with being taken for granted by the Conservative Party. 

“Every vote for the Liberal Democrats at this election is a vote to elect a strong local champion who will fight every day for our NHS and social care.

“People desperately want change. From fixing our health and care services to returning to proper community policing, the Liberal Democrats have a plan to make our community a better place. 

“As your MP I will work fulltime to fight for the fair deal local people deserve and to ensure our community gets the change it needs.”
