Tracey is calling on the government to publish details of when a new Meningitis B vaccine will be given to all babies on the NHS. 

Tracey yesterday visited the Bishop of Rochester Academy in Chatham to hear testimony from Holocaust survivor Steven Frank, as part of a visit organised by the Holocaust Educational Trust. 

Tracey has joined in the celebrations at St Katherines Primary School in Snodland to mark National School Sport Week 2014.

Tracey has given her support for children with life-threatening and life-limiting conditions in Chatham & Aylesford at a Westminster event held by children’s palliative care charity Together for Short Lives. The event took place on Tuesday 17 June during Children’s Hospice Week (13-20), the national awareness and fundraising week for children not expected to reach adulthood and the services, like children’s hospices, that support them.

Tracey said “I am thrilled to annouce that Major Maurice Bernard has received an honour in the Queen’s 2014 Birthday Honours. Maurice received a British Empire Medal for all of his hard work that has lead so directly to the improvements seen in dementia services in Medway. Congratulations Maurice!! We are all very proud! You deserve it!”

As Vice-Chair of the group, Tracey was delighted to celebrate the launch of the 2014 report of the All-Party Parliamentary Group for Dementia. The report, titled Building on the National Dementia Strategy: Change, progress and priorities, looks back at a previous inquiry from 2010 and examines progress made and opportunities for the future.

Today thousands of UK care homes opened their doors to welcome the public, connect residents with their local communities, and change perceptions of care homes for good. Tracey visited Amherst Court in Chatham to meet with residents and even had a go at knitting.

Tracey signed up to support the UK’s drowning prevention charity in its work to reduce drowning and provide water safety education and lifesaving awards across the UK and Ireland.

Tracey is really pleased to announce that yesterday evening, after an intense period of development, the Family Friendly Accreditation was launched at 11 Downing Street. There has been a lot of hard work to ensure that the Accreditation is a robust and useful process for all members of the Family Childcare Trust, and it has been tested with a mix of different organisations that is representative of their membership base.  She would like to also wish a huge congratulations to Bradfields Academy in Chatham, Gatwick Airport and Trafford Family Information Service, who were the first organisations to be awarded the Family Friendly UK Accreditation last night.
 

Anthony Nolan and Tracey are calling on constituents to join the register of heroic individuals willing to donate their blood stem cells or bone marrow to blood cancer patients desperately in need of a lifesaving transplant.
