Greg has welcomed news that Stoke Mandeville Hospital is set to receive £15,000,000 in order to provide a new childrens' A&E.

The £15,000,000 will be used to build an integrated children’s emergency department at Stoke Mandeville and an inpatient ward.

After having welcomed the Action Cerebral Palsy group’s Chief Executive to Parliament I called on the Leader of the House of Commons to make time for a debate on how the Government can better support children with cerebral palsy.

I  welcomed the governments prioritisation of development on brownfield sites and called on the Housing Secretary to assure me there will be no further pressure to build on Buckinghamshire countryside.

Greg outlined the challenges faced by our hard working social workers and called on the Secretary of State for Education to ensure children's social services are fully supported in rural communities.

Greg attended a launch by Crisis of a campaign to try to end homelessness at the same time as the Government announced it is giving £236million towards homelessness initiatives.

Greg led a group of local MPs handing in a petition to Downing Street organised by the No Expressway group and containing 10,000 signatures from people opposing the scheme.

Buckingham MP Greg Smith has welcomed the Government's announcement that it will establish a New Homes Ombudsman to protect the rights of homebuyers and hold developers to account, which he says is an important issue for Bucks where a number of constituents face issues relating to new builds.
