Happy St George's Day to everyone across Blackpool. 🗼 Today, we honour our patron saint and the rich history of our great nation. For me St George's Day means pride in my country, pride in my town, and hope for the future.

NHS Waiting List Targets Absent / no vote
Not only are waiting lists falling, but ambulances are arriving faster, and patient satisfaction with GP access has increased from 60% to 75%.  Fewer staff are leaving than at any point in the past decade, outside of the pandemic. All this despite a really challenging winter.
