Orkney and Shetland MP, Alistair Carmichael, has today urged local farmers to participate in a NFUS survey on rising costs of food production, before it closes. The survey, which closes tomorrow (Tuesday 10th January), takes just minutes to complete and is intended to give a clearer indication of the input costs and other challenges facing Scottish farmers in order to inform advocacy with parliament and government.
Bedford Borough Council has announced a grant of £45,000 to Bedfordshire Rural Communities Charity to deliver support to residents over the winter.
Responding to the government announcing £250m to buy care beds as part of a new plan to tackle the NHS winter crisis, Liberal Democrat Health Spokesperson Daisy Cooper MP said:
New House of Commons Library research commissioned by the Liberal Democrats has revealed there are fewer full-time ambulance staff compared to 2015.
The Liberal Democrats' 5-point Winter Plan for Ambulances will help fix the problems facing emergency services and save lives both now and in the future.
