On the 12th May we celebrate International Nurses Day and the 200th anniversary of Florence Nightingale’s birth.

I want to take this opportunity, on behalf of all residents in St Helens North, to thank and pay tribute to all the amazing nurses in our NHS in St Helens and beyond for their heroic efforts to help, cure and care for us.

More than ever before, they continue to go above and beyond what’s asked of them to keep us safe from the very frontline. Thank you for all you do!
