Earlier this month James Wright parliamentary candidate for Bath met with the Rt Hon Victoria Atkins MP, Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, they highlighted progress in healthcare for Bath. They discussed the Dental Recovery Plan and the substantial £40 million investment in the new Dyson Cancer Centre at Royal United Hospital (RUH) in Bath, which opened last month.
Bath’s hospitals hold a special place in the hearts of many, including that of James Wright whose brother and mother both worked at The Royal Mineral Water Hospital, and the RUH, where his father was treated during a heart attack. Since 2010, there has been recruitment of 45,000 more doctors and over 69,000 nurses across the country, ensuring that the NHS continues to deliver exceptional care to all. This commitment to strengthening healthcare services underlines the Conservative government's dedication to supporting both patients and healthcare professionals across in Bath.
James Wright said "The NHS is there for all of us when we need it most, from routine GP appointments to cancer treatments to critical care that's why I am delighted to have met with the Sectary of State to discuss access to Dental Surgery's and the investment in the Dyson Cancer Centre at the RUH.
The centre has oncology, chemotherapy and radiotherapy services, a 22-bed inpatient ward and a dedicated pharmacy, as well as a research team and nuclear medicine and physics teams. This will support the RUH's vital role in being one of the largest cancer facilities in the region and is capable of diagnosing 2,200 new patients every year.'
