Stephen Robinson discusses the results of his NHS survey with Lib Dem leader Nick Clegg

In a major survey of our local health services, Chelmsford residents have said they are mostly happy with standards of medical care and NHS staff, but have attacked waste of money, bad management and interference from central Government. The findings come in a survey conducted by the local Liberal Democrats and Parliamentary Candidate Stephen Robinson.

75% opposed closing St. John's and 78% opposed funding and managing the Broomfield extension through Private Finance; and a large majority supported Lib Dem plans for health decisions to be taken locally - not all in Whitehall as now.
