Calder Valley MP Chris McCafferty has welcomed the news that Todmorden and Brighouse are to get new community health centres, offering a wider range of treatments and diagnostic tests.
She said: "These changes are all part of the quiet revolution in health care - making more services available locally, putting a greater emphasis on preventing ill-health and leading to a massive reduction in waiting times.
"It is only possible because of the huge and continuing investment in health since 1997."
