Labour Parliamentary Candidate is Local GP
Dr Rav Seeruthun has been selected as the Labour Party Candidate for Maidstone and the Weald for the next General Election.
Dr Rav Seeruthun is well known in the local community given his work as a General Practitioner and has lived in Maidstone for nearly ten years. He initially did his house jobs at Maidstone Hospital, and has also worked as a Casualty Officer in the Maidstone A+E department that is now under threat.
He says “We are not against change but these need to be made in the best interests of the patients. Having worked there and seen how busy the department is, it currently is madness to say that by downgrading the department lives will not be put at risk given the dreadful road links to Tunbridge Wells.”
As a GP he has worked in a number of local Practices including College Road, Holland Road, Lenham and Shepway.
He has also worked in the Kent and Sussex Hospital, Pembury Hospital and the William Harvey Hospital in Ashford.
Dr Rav also plays for Maidstone Hockey Club and has done so for the last seven years and has captained one of the youth development teams, he further comments “Maidstone Hockey Club is a great example of how a sports club can make a community come together and helps bring together a wide mixture of people from different backgrounds.”
He also delivered a well-received speech at last weeks Labour Party Conference and he received a resounding round of applause as he announced that he was the first Labour Parliamentary Candidate for Maidstone and the Weald from an ethnic background.

Rav, once more congratulations on becoming our Parliamentary candidate but I will not extend that to your being the 'first ... with an ethnic background' - I, as with many others do not differentiate people by such designations.
I cannot find your conference speech recorded anywhere but perhaps I do not look in the right place, would you tell us where to find it or publish it here? You kindly published the piece by Adam Sampson on the Housing question but did not add any comment; I wonder how you saw it as Housing must take quite a large part in any future local manifesto, as Maidstone while not among the greatest of needs yet is still among those unable to get on top of the shortages and the consequent hardships and heartaches that entails. Best wishes, Leslie Turner

the green paper on housing and regeneration makes much about the thames gateway and the numbers of houses to be built. What about the numbers in Maidstone that have been lowered by the lobbying of the KCC.How many homeless are there in the town? These questions are outstanding. do we have the answers?

At least Rav has lived in the area and understands the issues. I'd never normally consider voting Labour but as Rav is a decent bloke I will consider it this time. Good luck to him. Perhaps he needs to start working on his PR a little more.
