100 days since her election win, Helen Maguire says the Health Service is ‘top priority’

Epsom & Ewell MP Helen Maguire has marked her 100th day in office with healthcare and hospitals in Epsom and Ewell at the top of her priority list.

Maguire has campaigned to fight for better health services with the building of a new hospital in Sutton to enable the refurbishment of Epsom and St Helier hospitals; to preserve and clean up her community’s polluted waterways; and to tackle the cost-of-living crisis. Today - just over 100 days since she won the election - Helen is making sure that the new hospital in her community remains her top priority.

Our new MP has met with James Blythe, Managing Director of Epsom & St Helier Hospitals NHS Trust, and attended their recent Annual Public Meeting to ensure plans to build a new Specialist Emergency Care Hospital in Sutton and upgraded facilities at Epsom and St Helier Hospitals move forward as planned. She also now has a scheduled meeting with Health Secretary, Wes Streeting, to find out more about the Government’s plans.

Looking back on her first 100 days, Helen said:

“We continue to campaign to ensure our new specialist hospital in Sutton is built, we continue to push Thames Water and the Environment Agency to take immediate steps to remedy the ever-increasing sewage spills into the Hogsmill and River Mole, and we continue to fight for better and more reliable train services for our local commuters.

“I want to meet as many people in Epsom, Ewell, Ashtead and Leatherhead as possible, to listen and understand what matters most to them. The hard work is getting started and I will do everything I can to provide real, lasting change for our area.”
