Labour — Ilford North

Speaking in the House of Commons on 17 June 2025

Debate

A&E Waiting Times

Contribution

I know that my hon. Friend the Minister for Secondary Care enjoyed her visit, and I thank the staff at Newham hospital for the work they do, which also benefits my constituents. We need to make sure that we are supporting hospitals across our country to meet need, because we are part of a wider ecosystem—I noticed that that point was also powerfully made by the hon. Member for Romford (Andrew Rosindell) in his question. My hon. Friend the Member for West Ham and Beckton (James Asser) is right to raise increasing demand and pressures, which is why we will shortly publish our 10-year plan for health. I am happy to report that Whipps Cross and Newham hospitals have also been provisionally allocated £28 million this year to improve buildings and estates.
