Welcome
to the website of Chris Grayling,
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.

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

Good News on the Hospital – for now

November 2009

The latest news on Epsom Hospital remains reasonably positive, although there are now emerging issues about the future of St Helier. Both Surrey Primary Care Trust and the South Coast Strategic Health Authority have given me clear assurances that they see the services at Epsom Hospital remaining unchanged for the foreseeable future. At the same time, the Epsom and St Helier NHS Trust is going through a public consultation about possible improvements to the Epsom site. It is the first time for a decade that, touch wood, there appears to be no immediate threat to Epsom.

The big current uncertainty is over the future of St Helier, with the NHS in London believed to be planning significant hospital amalgamations. I do not expect to hear any more about this for a few months, but it will obviously call into question the current Trust structure. Again, I have had assurances from South Coast Strategic Health Authority that they will not allow any changes to take place that threaten the viability of Epsom, but obviously we need to remain vigilant. The Epsom Hospital Campaign team continues to meet regularly to keep an eye on the situation.

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.
