Horsham’s Liberal Democrats back new manifesto with NHS at the heart

For a Fair Deal

The Liberal Democrats have launched their General Election manifesto and outlined a plan to save health and care services. The manifesto offers a bold and fully costed £9bn plan to tackle the health and care crisis.

The plan to save the country’s health services includes:

  • Giving everyone the right to see a GP within seven days, or within 24 hours if they urgently need to, with 8,000 more GPs to deliver on it.
  • Guaranteed access to an NHS dentist for everyone needing urgent and emergency care, ending DIY dentistry and ‘dental deserts’.
  • Boosting cancer survival rates with a guarantee to start treatment within 62 days from urgent referral.

The Liberal Democrat manifesto also includes a plan to overhaul the water industry and tackle sewage pollution, a dedicated mental health professional in every primary and secondary school, and a return to community policing including a new Burglary Response Guarantee to tackle unsolved crimes.

Liberal Democrat Parliamentary Candidate for Horsham, John Milne, said:

“Families and pensioners across Horsham are fed up with being taken for granted by the Conservative Party. 

“Every vote for the Liberal Democrats at this election is a vote to elect a strong local champion who will fight every day for our NHS and carers, and a return to proper community policing. The Liberal Democrats have a plan to make our community a better place.

“The Liberal Democrats are fighting for local people and giving communities the change they want."
