Statement to voters

First elected in 2015, Rachael campaigns tirelessly for her constituents in York Central.

Full statement

With a career in the NHS, working as a senior physiotherapist in ITU and acute medicine and as the Head of Health at Unite, Rachael continues to use her expertise in Westminster to progress healthcare and protect the NHS and is Vice Chair of the Health and Social Care Health Select Committee.



With the challenges people experience in York, Rachael has recently advanced legislation to regulate Short Term Holiday Lets, and speaks regularly on issues from housing and development, the economy, health and social care and the environment and climate. As a trade unionist, she also makes the case for advancing workers' rights, not least through her Bill to tackle Bullying at Work.



Central to Rachael's work, is listening to the issues that constituents raise and bringing their voice to Parliament, especially the inequality and injustices that so many have faced under the Tories. Not only does she work across agencies in York to enhance services and support businesses, but takes up the issues residents need addressing.
