Commons ChamberMy hon. Friend raises an important matter. Our 10-year health plan sets out how to improve access to healthcare for everyone, putting patients first but ensuring there is sustainable access to medicines. I will ensure the Department of Health and Social Care looks into the specific issue he raises and gives him an update.
Some £12 million of taxpayers’ money was allocated to Keighley to help build a new health hub in the centre of our town. That money was given to Keighley through the Keighley town fund nearly six years ago, with a top up of additional funds from the levelling-up fund three years ago. However, because of the sheer incompetence of the last Labour-run administration, the project was not progressed, and under the new Reform administration, the same lethargic approach has continued. Last week, we heard that the project may not go ahead at all due to time running out. Will the Leader of the House assist me in getting an urgent meeting with the relevant Ministers from the Department of Health and Social Care and the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government, as one has already been requested, so that we can get to the bottom of this and ensure the health hub is not cancelled as a result of Bradford council’s ineptitude?
