Chris Grayling at Epsom Clock Tower

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.

You can also use the contact section to get in touch and to raise problems and issues with me.

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

Local Needs, Local Health

July 2008

Epsom and Ewell MP Chris Grayling has welcomed the decision by Epsom and St Helier NHS Trust to launch a review on the future configuration of hospital services in Epsom and Sutton areas. "People in Epsom have long wanted a divorce between Epsom and St Helier Hospitals," says Chris. "This review is gives all of us in Epsom the chance to stress how important it is that we retain our local hospital. It is time for the medical community in Epsom to work together to show our hospital can have an independent future."

Further details can be found on the Trust's website, at www.epsom-sthelier.nhs.uk/

Working for you

What does your MP do?

Chris has been MP for Epsom and Ewell since June 2001. Here he explains what a local MP actually does.

There are really four parts to my job - taking part in debates at Westminster, working in Committees, dealing with problems and issues for constituents, and visiting and keeping in touch with as many local people, organisations and other groups as I can.
