I wish to present a petition signed by more than 2,000 people from my constituency and that of my hon. Friend the Member for Buckingham (John Bercow) about our local health services. I pay tribute to The Bucks Herald, particularly its editor, Mr. David Summers, and its health correspondent, Mr. Tim Green, for their work on the “Dear Patricia” campaign.

The petition, which has my full support, states:

The petition of the citizens of Bucks and others, declares that expansion plans for any community must be supported by improvements to health services.

The petitioners therefore request that the House of Commons urges the Secretary of State for Health to provide reassurances that the health infrastructure can cope and detail what improvements are planned to support Aylesbury Vale’s growth plan.

To lie upon the Table.
