Blake Stephenson MP has urged Health Minister Karin Smyth to work with him and local stakeholders to finally deliver the long awaited GP surgery for Wixams.
It is now 17 years since work began to build the new town of Wixams in Bedfordshire, but despite around 5,000 people now living there, the town still doesn't have a GP surgery.
Blake has campaigned on ensuring appropriate infrastructure must always be provided wherever there is housing growth.
And just weeks after being elected as the MP for Mid Bedfordshire he took part in a Westminster Hall debate on healthcare in the East of England and took the opportunity to ask the Health Minister to help him get the surgery built.
Blake was disappointed by the Minister's response so has followed up in writing urging her to work with him, Bedford Borough Council, Central Bedfordshire Council, Wixams Residents Group and the local ICB to unblock the GP surgery.
