Thank you to everyone who supported our HCRG strike day last week in Chippenham and Swindon. 🙏

We need to keep up the pressure on HCRG, so more information will be circulated shortly.

Healthcare workers in Swindon will stage a 24-hour strike this week amid a dispute over staffing levels, workloads and union recognition.

Thank you to everyone who took part in our strike last week 🙏

One striking worker says she goes home and cries because she no longer feels she is making a difference due to work pressures.

With ongoing concerns surrounding HCRG, I am deeply saddened that staff feel strike action is their only option to have their voices heard. My fellow MPs and I have been hearing serious concerns from staff and patients for some time, and it is clear that more must be done to ensure staff feel listened to, valued and supported.

Next week, I will raise these concerns directly with the Minister in a Westminster Hall debate I have secured on HCRG. We will continue pushing for better communication, greater accountability and meaningful change so that staff can thrive and patients receive the care they deserve.
