Rayleigh and Wickford MP Mark Francois spent time on a Friday afternoon recently visiting the Basildon Headquarters of the Basildon and Brentwood Clinical Commissioning group. Mark meet with the group’s Accountable Officer (in effect its Chief Executive) Mr John Leslie, who oversees the work of the CCG which helps to coordinate NHS services in the Basildon and Brentwood area, including in the Wickford part of Mark’s constituency.
The pair spent over an hour discussing a number of local issues including access to treatment, the quality of clinical care and how the NHS deals with complaints. Commenting on his meeting Mark Francois said;
“I had a very positive meeting with John Leslie and we were able to exchange information on a number of health related issues. As a local MP I think it is an important part of my role to remain in touch with leaders in the NHS and I look forward to maintaining a close dialogue with the Basildon and Brentwood CCG in the future.”
