Whilst this is from our West Midlands Ambulance Colleagues a key message!
Schools are an important part of the defibrillator network.
The Oliver King Foundation supported by Lord Polak, who I will be nominating to be my Vice Chair on the APPG for Cardiac Risk in the Young, was part of the team that convinced the previous Government to fund a defib in every school.
I have asked every school in North West Leicestershire to connect their Defib to the Curcuit, I am however, wanting to go further and see if we can get the Defibs in our Schools to be accessible even when the school is closed on the outside.❓Did you know 1 in 3 cardiac arrests in the West Mids happens within 300 metres of a school? ❤️🩹
Why does that matter?
Well, schools have defibrillators that can be used to restart a heart. However, if we don't know they're there, we can't send someone to get them!

Really positive news following our cash boost for Leicestershire Fire and Rescue Service. I’m pleased I was able to make the case to Ministers ahead of the announcements just before Christmas and then have a follow up meeting with the Chief Fire Officer and Leicestershire FBU between Christmas and New Year.
After over a decade of cuts, it’s time to renew our public services and this is very welcome news.

✈️ Airport drop-off charges: unfair and avoidable? ✈️
I recently spoke in Parliament about the drop-off charges at East Midlands Airport and the wider problem across the UK. Now I want to hear your feedback on this issue. (Link at the end of the post)
East Midlands Airport is a huge asset to our region, but for many travellers there is no realistic alternative to travelling by car. The nearest train station is a 10-minute drive away, the bus from East Midlands Parkway is on-demand only, and if you’re travelling with children, luggage, or at unsociable hours, public transport just isn’t always practical.
With these limited choices:
🚗 91% of passengers travel by car
📱 You can’t pay at the airport — only online or by phone later
⚠️ Forget once, and you could face a £100 fine
This system feels stacked against ordinary people. It assumes everyone has the time, tech and headspace to remember to pay later, often after an early-morning or late-night drop-off, and offers no reminders.
That doesn’t feel like good consumer protection.
I’ve raised this directly with the airport asking for simple solutions like:
✔️ A pay machine
✔️ A QR code inside the terminal (so those dropped off can pay onsite)
✔️ Fairer time limits and reminders
So far, those requests have been refused.
Now I want to hear your thoughts and experiences on this issue. Please let me have your feedback, not just of drop off charges at EMA but other UK airports too. You can complete my survey here: www.amandahack.com/campaigns/airport-drop-off-charges-survey/

Really welcome today’s announcement of a £200 million investment to improve SEND training so every teacher has the skills and confidence to support every child.
This is something I’ve raised many times with the education team following my meetings with parents and teachers, and it’s great to see action that will help ensure children with special educational needs get the right support early on.
A big step towards a more inclusive education system for families in our community and across the country, ensuring every child gets the best start in life!

🚨 NHS WAITING LISTS DOWN BY A WHOPPING 86,000 🚨
That’s the second biggest drop in 15 years, despite record demand in 2025, a tough winter so far, and industrial action.
The facts speak for themselves 👇
✅ Waiting lists are falling
🩺 Patient satisfaction with GP access has risen from 60% to 75%
👩⚕️ Fewer staff are leaving the NHS than at any point in the last decade (outside the pandemic)
Make no mistake, this progress is down to the hard work of NHS staff, Labour’s modernisation of the NHS, and record investment - Investment that the Tories and Reform both opposed.
There’s still so much more to do and a long way to go..
But today shows we’re turning the NHS around and getting it back on its feet. This is what renewal looks like. 💪❤️🩹 ... See MoreSee Less

We’re delivering the biggest investment in rail in a generation, and it’s great to see up to £45 billion allocated to Northern Powerhouse Rail.
I’m continuing to push hard for better rail links here in the East Midlands. Just today I met with Network Rail to discuss plans and ideas for reinstating the Ivanhoe Line.
I raise the Ivanhoe Line with colleagues and Ministers in Parliament at every opportunity and it remains right at the forefront of my campaigning. ... See MoreSee Less
