Member of Parliament for Epsom and Ewell
Thank you for visiting my site. On it you will find latest news about issues I have been involved with nationally and locally, and how to get hold of me if you need assistance.
You will also find links to other useful sites about the area and to the site of the Epsom and Ewell Conservative Association.

The Epsom and Ewell constituency runs from Worcester Park in the north to Ashtead in the south. My goal is to play an active role in the community across the constituency, as well as to provide it with effective representation on a national stage.
Epsom Hospital Update
Epsom Hospital Update
November 2011
The bidding process for Epsom's new partner was completed on November 11th, but in the end there was only one bidder. Unless something very unexpected happens, Epsom will become part of a larger three hospital Trust, including Ashford Hospital, near Heathrow, and St Peter's in Chertsey. We will find out more details about their bid shortly, but I am now very optimistic about the future of Epsom. It would make no sense to take on Epsom just to downgrade it, and Epsom patients are unlikely to choose to go to Chertsey. So I think the future will be all about developing Epsom, and the arrival of a Royal Marsden clinic on the site as part of the deal will be particularly welcome.
This is the link to the official statement about the bid:
