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.'
