Stephen Morgan, Member of Parliament for Portsmouth South, said: ‘Portsmouth has become a new healthcare hell for patients. It is one of the worst affected areas by the wider national fall in GPs, with just 40 per 100,000 people.
‘This welcome investment for our university is exactly the sort of thing we need to help revitalise our city and overcome the challenges our NHS faces.’
