Paul Burstow, Member of Parliament for Sutton and Cheam.
Paul Burstow MP is running the 'Save Our St Helier' Campaign, against cuts and closures at the Hospital. Since a decision by Patricia Hewitt in August 2006 not to recommend St Helier as the site for a new hi-tech hospital, fears have been growing for the future of the hospital. In October 2006, the Trust which runs the Hospital announced hundreds of bed closures and nearly 500 job cuts at St Helier. In November 2006, Paul was one of the leaders of a march attended by over 2,000 people. Over the past two years Paul has continued to campaign to secure St Helier's future and defend local NHS services

Sutton and Cheam MP, Paul Burstow, won praise for his campaigning on dementia from an unexpected source on Tuesday (15th July) during a Parliamentary debate on dementia care. Health Minister, Ivan Lewis said that the local MP had done much over many years to raise the importance of dementia and credit for getting the Government to acknowledge it as one of the biggest health and social care challenges. The Minister also said that Mr Burstow had done more than any parliamentarian to highlight the issue of inappropriate and abusive prescribing of anti-psychotics drugs.
