Liberal Democrats manifesto with NHS at the heart

Harpenden & Berkhamsted Liberal Democrats back 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. 

Victoria Collins, Liberal Democrat parliamentary candidate for Harpenden & Berkhamsted, was at the launch today (Monday 10th June) in London.

The Lib Dems’ 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.

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

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

The Liberal Democrat manifesto will also include 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.  

Victoria Collins, Liberal Democrat parliamentary candidate for Harpenden & Berkhamsted, said:

“Families and pensioners across Harpenden, Berkhamsted, Tring and the surrounding villages are fed up with being taken for granted by the Conservative Party. 

“The Lib Dems can win right across our area and are the clear challengers to the Conservatives here. I’m determined to win for our part of Hertfordshire - and get a fair deal.” 

“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.”
