Liberal Democrat candidate for Kettering

Health

We will abolish the charging for personal care for the elderly, as Liberal Democrats in Government have already done in Scotland.
There will be quicker diagnosis: when your GP believes you may have a serious illness, we will offer diagnosis by the quickest practical route, public or private, so the NHS can treat you more quickly. We will tackle the scandal of expensive scanners standing idle and publish waiting times for all tests and scans.
We will fight superbugs with cleaner hospitals: preventing, controlling and containing the spread of infection will no longer take second place to political targets.
We will introduce free eye and dental checks, with fewer prescription charges.
We will train more dentists and improve their contracts.
Prevention is as important as cure. We will concentrate on helping people stay healthy as well as caring for them when they fall ill.
People with mental health problems have the same rights as any other patients to have control over their care, and to be treated with dignity.
Local investment priorities in the NHS should be set by locally elected people.
We would scrap absurd political targets so that hospitals and doctors can treat patients according to clinical need.
