Are Birmingham Tories against CCTV?

When I'm out and about in my constituency, people tell me they are concerned about crime and antisocial behaviour.

I'm on the side of the decent, law abiding majority who play by the rules and want their community to be safe. 

They want the police and the authorities to come down hard on law breakers.

CCTV puts these criminals where they belong - in jail.

David Davis has resigned as Tory Shadow Home Secretary and as an MP. 

He is against having CCTV in our communities because he is worried about human rights. He seems to care a lot about the human rights of criminals.
 
I'll tell you where I stand: I think the most important human right for people in Hall Green is to feel safe in their homes and communities.

Better services for patients

Patients tell me that access to GP services is a real issue – they want to see doctors’ surgeries opening at evenings and weekends.  

People in Birmingham say they want health care that is more personalised and convenient

The introduction of GP led Health centres are not intended to replace existing GPs but to complement and enhance existing services.

This means:

• More GPs, nurses and other healthcare professionals
• More appointments longer
• More convenient opening hours.
• All these GP led Health centres will be open from 8am-8pm,
  7 days a week.

These centres will provide a minimum of an additional 2.6 million extra appointments a year across the country.

There is nothing stopping anyone in Hall Green from walking into one of the new GP led health centres to see a GP or nurse and they can do this whilst still being registered with their own GP. 

They can also choose to register with the health centre if they wish to do so and will receive the same high quality services they would receive at any GP practice.

Tories against more access to GPs

In the year of the NHS' 60th birthday the Tories have said that they would scrap the agreement Labour has secured for evening and weekend GP opening hours. 

I think a lot of patients in Birmingham want better access to a GP. 

People with busy lives will see that the Tories are wrong.

GP-health centres are fully funded and people won't have to switch doctors to go to one.

Patients don't have to leave their existing GP to see a doctor at a health centre.
