Today, I met with Health Minister, Karin Smyth to discuss two issues, the miscarriage cradle designed by the amazing Laura Cocoron and their review of the Physician Associate role which has impacted on a local woman.
Our conversation was positive, she listened carefully, and she committed to take both issues forward.
The opportunities to have direct conversations at the heart of Government on issues that matter for local people helps make my time in Westminster worthwhile.
I am absolutely horrified and astounded that two young people were mis-identified by South Yorkshire Police following a car crash that severely injured one man and where two others lost their life.
I understand that two of the young people are from Bassetlaw and last month I shared my commiserations on Facebook to the friends and family of the young man, who we now know was actually being treated for his critical injuries.
This is a deeply troubling situation and I wish to reach out and give support to all the families and friends caught up in this.
I welcome that South Yorkshire Police have taken immediate action as soon as they became aware of their error, they have been transparent and they have referred themselves to the Independent Office for Police Complaints. .
I have now requested an urgent meeting with South Yorkshire Police on this matter. I am committed to supporting local people who have been impacted by this in every way possible. I appreciate and respect the privacy that they deserve and I have deleted my previous post.
Before Christmas, I had the pleasure of visiting Redlands Primary School in Worksop.
I was given a tour of the school by members of the student team captains, who spoke enthusiastically about their experiences at Redlands.
I look forward to visiting more schools across Bassetlaw, to hear directly from pupils and staff, and to celebrate the work taking place in our classrooms, and understand how I can best support schools with both their achievements and the challenges they face.
👨👧👧 Across Bassetlaw I have heard from many parents who are struggling to get help and support for their children with Special Educational Needs
🚧 The blockages, the funding and the gaps that so many families are falling through need urgent fixing.
