Mid Bedfordshire MP Blake Stephenson has continued to fight to secure a GP surgery in Wixams in his latest House of Commons question to Government ministers.
The Conservative MP is standing up local residents in Wixams who were promised a surgery many years ago, but still await any progress.
Blake has already raised this numerous times in House of Commons and Westminster Hall debates, and has now urged the Government to do more to hold ICB's accountable for their failures to deliver local healthcare.
He said: "Funding and delivery of a GP surgery for Wixams in my constituency continues to fall between the cracks of developers, local councils and the local ICB. Does the Minister agree that to break those deadlocks and build the infrastructure that our communities require, new mayors should have the power to direct ICBs, making locally elected politicians responsible rather than unelected quangos?"
The local MP is also pushing for more maintenance at Bedford Hospital and Luton & Dunstable Hospital and raised this with the Health Secretary Wes Streeting on the same day.
