Mike Penning: deliver a post Brexit hospital for West Herts
To support a campaign to make sure that promises made by Boris Johnson and Michael Gove during the EU referendum campaign that £350m per week could be spent on the NHS will go towards the funding and building of a new hospital for South West Herts.
Why is this important?
Hemel Hempstead hospital has been downgraded for many years and patients are forced to travel to Watford.
Conservative controlled Herts County Council had the chance to object to the decision to downgrade the hospital and refer the decision to the Secretary of State, but they chose not to.
Mike Penning MP has made the hospital an electoral issue in every election since 2005 but nothing has changed. He didn't openly campaign for Leave but said that leaving the EU would be better for Britain.
Serving Conservative Ministers said that billions could be spent on the NHS if we voted to Leave. These claims were painted on the side of their bus.
We want Mike Penning to put his money where his mouth is and stand up for the people of Dacorum and resign if Leave campaign promises on NHS funding are not honoured and we don't get a new hospital for our community.
