Education, roads, social services and waste disposal are all currently managed by the county council.

It is now likely that the Government will delegate the scrutiny of health services to Worcestershire county as well.

It is particularly important, therefore, that Health Concern candidates are elected at this election.

We will represent electors in a truly democratic way - taking needs and wishes forward without "party political" baggage getting in the way of sensible decision-making.

Born in the area and trained as a nurse at Kidderminster Hospital where I served for many years, I am proud of Dr Richard Taylor's Health Concern's achievements and would regard it as an honour and privilege to strongly represent Cookley, Wolverley and Wribbenhall's issues and needs at county level.

At this election I urge everyone caring about Wyre Forest to vote Health Concern.
