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
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/
