Leighton Hospital's new A&E facility was offically opened by former health secretary, Sajid Javid, in February (Ryan Parker).

"Most recently £15 million was invested into a new A&E building. These add-ons and investments, however, can only take us so far.

"What the hospital needs a fundamental rebuild so that it can better meet the needs of our growing and aging local population.

"I will continue to take every opportunity to make this the case for this project to the Government."
