Our response to today's budget...
30 Oct 2024
Wandsworth Liberal Democrats will hold the Government’s “feet to the fire” in response to the Autumn Budget today.
The extra funding for the NHS in the Budget must now be delivered for local residents, including through extra GP and dentist appointments as well as more support to cut cancer care wait times.
We also call for urgent cross-party talks on social care. Fixing social care will also be crucial to take pressure off local health services and give older people the care they need.
We’ll be campaigning for urgent, real improvements for our local health services. Now this Government needs to deliver, anything less will be yet another disappointment.
