Birmingham Liberal Democrats are campaigning for Government finding to improve Heartlands Accident and Emergency services. Lots of residents have had poor experiences at the hospital because of long waits for care and poor facilities on site. Staff at the hospital do their best under difficult circumstances.
The problem is serious underfunding and a lack of GP appointments in the area that is adding pressure to an already over-stretched service. Local councillor NAME said “I have heard stories of people waiting over 24 hours to be seen, and people who have been treated in cupboards because of the lack of space available. The A&E department is not big enough to cope with demand. It needs urgent investment and the Liberal Democrats are campaigning hard for that.”
The Liberal Democrats want to see a new or improved building at the hospital. One that is big enough to cope with the demand of over 400,000 people who live in the area. There is a lot of deprivation around the area and health issues. Better care is needed to improve the health of local people and that starts with investment.
To achieve this, we need your support so that our voices get heard in the corridors of power at Westminster.
