It was a pleasure to visit the Pembroke Centre in Ruislip Manor this morning. This sits just outside of the constituency but serves residents across the borough.
This facilitated some helpful and wide-ranging discussions about primary care estate and neighbourhood hubs. This is a topic in which I have engaged the Health Minister, Karin Smyth. Keen to see examples of effective collaboration between the NHS and local authorities in delivering out-of-hospital care in practice, I have written to the Minister, extending an invitation to visit the centre and meet with the team.
Also of interest are the paediatric clinics Pembroke operates with Hillingdon Hospital, which I hope to be able to visit in the near future.
I am grateful to all for taking time out of their day to meet with me, have some useful conversations and show me around their facilities.
