Far too many employers are unable to recruit highly skilled staff locally. I will continue to work alongside our schools and colleges to ensure skilled training and apprenticeships are available, to drive social mobility and attainment, making North Devon a great place to work and do business.
It is excellent news that the A&E waiting times at the Royal Devon and Exeter (RD&E) and North Devon District Hospital have been slashed and are now among the best in the country.
