Ellesmere Port and Neston MP Andrew Miller MP has called on his constituents to send David Cameron a message as the NHS turns 65.

Mr Miller said: “The NHS today is suffering from an A&E crisis. Here in Ellesmere Port and Neston staffing shortages have left the A&E department at the Countess of Chester overstretched, with experts warning that services across the country could fail by the winter if urgent action isn’t taken.

“In the North West we have already lost 1,119 nurses since David Cameron became Prime Minster in 2010 and these cuts are making it harder to maintain the services that local people rely on.

“I’ve spoken to both patients and health workers locally and they’ve all told me they are worried about the future of the NHS. I know first-hand how amazing our NHS is but it needs protecting so that future generations are able to benefit from our incredible health service.

“This is why I’m asking people in Ellesmere Port and Neston to join the Labour Party’s campaign at labour.org.uk/nhs-crisis and send a message to David Cameron that our health service doesn’t deserve his broken promises.”
