The Local Liberal Democrat Party for Newham, Barking and Dagenham today expressed serious concern over the Conservative Government's inability to provide the NHS with the support it needs in East London A&E's.

Only 83% of patients arriving at A&E in the East London Health & Care Partnership area (which includes Newham) were treated or admitted within four hours in October 2019, according to damning figures published on 14 November by NHS England. This is well below the official target of 95% of patients attending A&E being admitted, transferred or discharged within four hours.

Ann Haigh, the Liberal Democrat's candidate for Barking, attended a meeting where The Children’s Coalition presented its Election Priorities. 

The Liberal Democrats have announced they would more than double spending on youth services in Newham to £3.9 million, to help tackle rising levels of knife crime. This would form part of a total ring-fenced fund of £500 million for Local Authorities across England to spend on youth services, providing young people with positive, safe and healthy alternatives to gangs.

The Liberal Democrats have announced their Prospective Parliamentary Candidates to contest seats in Barking and Dagenham for the next general election: Ann Haigh will be the Liberal Democrat candidate for Barking and Sam Fisk will be the Liberal Democrat candidate for Dagenham and Rainham.

On Saturday 19^th October, Lib Dems marched in their tens of thousands through London demanding the people are given a final say on Brexit - and an option to remain in the EU. And your local East London party and candidates were there in support.

At the London Region AGM and Conference in Camden last Saturday there was standing room only! Inspiring Liberal Democrat speakers included Siobhan Benita, Caroline Pidgeon, Lousie Porritt, Tom Brake, Luciana Berger and Ed Davey. We asked our City and East London GLA Candidate, Richard Flowers for his conference highlights.

Newham Liberal Democrats are calling on our local council to demand a People's Vote on behalf of all of us in the borough. Newham can't afford Brexit and we need our Labour mayor and council to show leadership and stand up for the people of Newham.
