An unexpected number of retiring MPs, coupled with a sizeable predicted swing to the Conservatives means well over a third of the new Parliament could be new MPs. Even if the Conservatives gain an overall majority of one, more than half their MPs will be new to Parliament. Change of this scale will have huge implications for business. Much has been made of the “ones to watch” in this predicted new intake of MPs. This booklet highlights candidates with a healthcare interest, including unique information gained from them via a hanover survey of their opinions and priorities. This booklet focuses on Conservative PPCs, some of whom will be certain of election as they are fighting seats with large majorities, or ones estimated to have had large notional majorities in 2005 with the new boundaries. Others will have a harder fight ahead, but with a national swing of 7%+ needed for the narrowest of Conservative majorities the party is working hard to win these seats. While we did not originally set out to look solely at the Conservatives, they can expect to form the bulk of the class of 2010, and of the candidates from other parties selected to date, few have a health specialism. The candidates’ backgrounds range from scientist to investor, GP to PCT board member, policy advisor to aid worker and patient advocate. They have many common priorities and concerns: care of old people; prevention; improved access and decentralisation, to name but a few, but in how healthcare should be organised and funded there is a plurality of views. Given the tough challenges health faces over the coming years the views and energy of this new intake will be critical. 3 January 2010 Conservative Helen Grant notional majority PPC for Maidstone and the Weald of 12,922 Helen inherits the She strongly believes in the importance of seat from Rt Hon listening to patients, understanding them Anne Widdecombe and the communities in which they live: who held the health If we are committed to delivering the brief in opposition highest“ quality of care and service we must under William know our customers.
