if Labour are to scrap the plans to rebuild KGH that gives the opportunity to have a radical rethink of the local hospital provision. Kettering and Northampton both have a general hospital. Would it be better to build one new one that will cater for both. The NGH site could be redeveloped and give something better to Northampton, the patients of both towns may get a hospital and care that is fit for purpose.

rather than have silly arguments about who lied - answer - they all did, can we just concentrate on the problem which is that we have a 3rd world health care system used as a political football by all parties to the detriment of patients, lets just build one modern facility for all

It would be particularly concerning if planning protocols and regs were relaxed, further housing in and around Kettering was built and yet the hospital provision was not improved. The two go hand in hand, surely.

Its easy to blame others, what the people want is action. Let's see if this government can do that.

Even as an inexperienced MP Rosie is not backing off and is not going to let go of the KGH saga. There has to be a pathway to remediate the issues that have been around for so many years.

Keep going Rosie.

You simply can not go around accusing past governments of lying when the incoming chancellor talks about cuts for the new hospital at Kettering being a load of rubbish. Pot calling kettle methinks.

I do wish politicians would stop ping ponging blame and just get on with actioning . After all with all the new houses coming the infrastructure of a proper hospital becomes all the more urgent. Rosie Wrighting wreak your miracles on getting this sorted please and earn the trust that has been put in you to represent not just your constituency but those of other local Ones too. Good luck !
