More affordable homes, an end to the 11 Plus exam and the return of A&E to Wycombe Hospital are among Labour’s promises to the electorate should they be voted into power this week.

In Wycombe Labour’s manifesto, parliamentary candidate, David Williams, highlights his group’s local pledges to constituents if Labour were to clench the Wycombe seat tomorrow.

What you can expect if you vote Labour:

1. Wycombe Hospital:

  • Labour will fight for the return of A&E to Wycombe Hospital and end privatisation in the NHS in Wycombe.
  • A Labour Government will repeal the Health and Social Care Act which requires NHS services to be put out to tender.
  • When the contract for the Major Injuries and Illnesses Unit at Wycombe Hospital comes to an end this October, the service should be returned to the public sector and expanded to provide emergency care.
