Dear Constituent As a local lad, I can look back on the past fewdecades on the NHS in Gillingham and Rainham, andit makes me proud to see how far things have come. A hospital with Foundation Trust status so it can be even more responsive to local needs, plus more doctors,more nurses, greater facilities than ever before. Nowwe?re also getting a new GP-led walk-in centre at the heart of our community. So let?s celebrate the NHS at 60 and look forward to another six decadesof the best healthcare system in the world.Best wishes
