Protect St Helier and build a new local hospital

Elliot Colburn St Helier

As a former local NHS worker, I know how much you care about St Helier.

The Coronavirus pandemic has also shown how much we appreciate and rely on our local NHS.

Using my experience of working in the NHS we have secured the £500 million needed to upgrade St Helier Hospital and build a new local hospital, so local residents and staff get the best possible care whenever they need it. You can read more about the plans here.

I am also committed to improving health outcomes for local residents, whether that be in mental health, cancer, dementia, and much more. This page will update you on what I am doing to improve health outcomes for local people.
