6. A new GP surgery on the Sutton Hospital site

Parliament has now been dissolved until the General Election and so there are currently no Members of Parliament.

I am not standing at that election and will be winding down my office over the next few weeks. Most of the posts on this site were posted whilst I was still an MP.

Thank you for your support over the last nine years.
