Statement from Elsie:
“Hundreds of residents across Heywood and Middleton North are stuck on the record long waiting lists inherited by the Labour Government at huge cost to their health and wellbeing.
“That’s why the reforms announced this week to cut NHS waiting times from 18 months to 18 weeks will make such a huge difference. With so many people waiting for treatment, it is more urgent than ever that we reform our NHS so it will always be there for you when you need it.
