🏥 New Radiography Unit at Southend Hospital 🏥 I was thrilled to welcome those attending the opening of the new radiotherapy building at Southend Hospital. I also toured the new extension to the Hospital’s Emergency Department. Fascinating to see the new LINAC machine too!

We are working behind the scenes to try and get this ridiculous situation resolved. I have been in contact with all the government Secretaries of State and Ministers who might be able to help. Cllr Daniel Cowan and Bayo Alaba MP are on to the other stakeholders! Watch this space!

Up early to be on the first train out of Waterloo under public ownership. A big day! Later this year we’ll bring forward legislation to set up Great British Railways, integrating the management of track & train. One team, one railway, delivering higher passenger standards. 🇬🇧
