Improving access to the NHS is a big driver for Brown-Fuller, who has been an MP since 4 July 2024, who lost her father to cancer when he was unable to access diagnostic and treatment services during the pandemic.
She said: ‘Fixing the NHS and care is a key priority for the Liberal Democrats and I can't wait to get stuck in to the role.
‘I look forward to championing the voices and experiences of people from Chichester and across the country in my new role.'
Easier GP access is the top NHS priority for the public, according to a new poll.
NHS waiting lists rose for the second month in a row in July to over 7.4m amidst five days of industrial action by resident doctors.
Patient access to cutting edge cancer treatments is being blocked by current commissioning and funding structures, doctors have warned.
