Local MP, Greg Barker, has today welcomed plans announced by Prime Minister David Cameron to put patients before paperwork here in Bexhill and Battle.
The new drive will make a huge difference, allowing patients from Bexhill and Battle to lead hospital inspections and freeing up nurses in our local hospitals from bureaucracy so they can make hourly ward rounds.
Greg said:
‘For years, Labour loaded bureaucracy on the NHS, making it harder and harder for doctors and nurses to get on with their jobs and treat their patients.
‘The Prime Minister’s announcement will finally change this, introducing patient-led hospital inspections and freeing up nurses from paperwork so they can make hourly ward rounds. This is great news for patients here in Bexhill and Battle.’
