A spokesperson for the organisers said, “Our NHS has been there for us during some of our darkest hours – we now need to do the same in return.

“Our local hospital trust is struggling with its annual deficits, nurses are using foodbanks, our clinical commissioning group is in deficit and patients have been dying because of cuts to health and social care. We cannot trust this government with our NHS and our lives any longer.

“This will be a chance to listen to each of your parliamentary candidates speak about where they stand on the NHS.”

The group has requested anyone who is interested in taking part to email their questions to [email protected] by December 8.
