Soon after taking her place in the House of Commons, Sarah was elected to the influential Health Select Committee which examines government health policy and proposed legislation, together with the work of the the Department of Health.

Sarah is delighted to have been elected onto this important Committee. Many of the reasons why she became an MP inform her perception that health policy is directed primarily at big city issues, whilst becoming increasingly irrelevant or damaging to those working at the front line.

The Health Select Committee will be an opportunity for Sarah to to question government policy and to examine other health priorities from the perspective of a long serving GP and medical examiner with real life experience.
