| This week I led a Westminster Hall debate on GP appointment accessibility. This has been a consistent issue for many constituents over recent months. I took the opportunity to raise a number of cases brought to me by constituents with the Minister in attendance.
The chances of misdiagnosis increase dramatically if GPs rely on an email or telephone call. I can say I speak from experience: for days my own mother-in-law was misdiagnosed as having a UTI when in fact she had suffered a severe stroke.
Precious time was lost, and terrible damage done because she had not been seen by a GP. For every hundred ailments that could be diagnosed safely without seeing a GP there will be one that won’t. One that could prove to be fatal and that is not a price worth paying. |

| The brutal murder of Sir David Amess has left all of us in Westminster in a state of some shock. Universally liked and respected on all sides, Sir David trod the difficult line of holding onto his deeply held principles while making and keeping friends from all parties.
All MPs have had to reassess their security arrangements, with a significant amount of advice and guidance provided by the Parliamentary authorities. I am determined not to let these tragic events diminish my ability to see my constituents face to face, indeed I was out the very next day doing just that.
However, there are now additional protections in place, to facilitate access for as many constituents as possible. Anyone wanting to see me must contact my office to make the arrangements and all appointments should be confirmed with my office staff. |

| Between now and the Christmas recess, the Parliamentary calendar is very full. Now that the House of Commons is fully back, without restrictions, there is a backlog of legislation that needs to pass through the House. Part of this is a very high number of sitting Fridays.
Normally I am in Parliament from Monday to Thursday, with the opportunity to head out into the constituency on Fridays. While the heavier Parliamentary schedule holds up it will mean I have less time in Beaconsfield and more in Westminster.
This is particularly true with my new PPS role, as the Ministry of Justice has a number of Bills passing through the Commons in the remaining weeks of the year. While I may have to spend more time than usual in Westminster, I will make sure to keep everyone updated as to what I am working on and how I am representing all of you. |
