Dear friends, after our break for August, here is our update on local and "not so local but still relevant or interesting" developments covering August and September.

        171,417 children in Surrey not seen by an NHS dentist in the last 12 months. 830,842 of Surrey’s adults not seen by an NHS dentist in the past 2 years Lib Dems call for boost to NHS dentistry.
 
                
        
        The contaminated blood scandal is one of the gravest injustices in NHS history. We must honour victims with recognition, dignity, and compensation – and ensure no one ever suffers from such injustice again.
 
                
        
        Years of Conservative cuts have hollowed out the legal aid system, leaving millions without access to timely legal advice. Our new policy will legal aid a guaranteed right, ensure no one is left without help.

        Millions of people are still trapped in England’s broken leasehold system. Our plan will end the leasehold rip-off, strengthen building safety, and give residents the control, fairness, and dignity they deserve in their own homes.
