The Premier Independent political party in Wyre Forest

The Wyre Forest area of north Worcestershire is the home of independent political thought - having been represented in Parliament for two terms (ten years) by the Independent M.P. Dr. Richard Taylor M.B.E.

Representing Wyre Forest people

The party works at Wyre Forest District and local Town and Parish levels with Councillors on the Bewdley, Kidderminster and Stourport-on-Severn town councils.

Not just a ‘Single Issue’ party

Independent Kidderminster Hospital and Health Concern is NOT just a ‘single issue’ party but a grouping of independent representatives of the people; taking on-board all manner of local problems (and solving them) and local aspirations (and aiding in their delivery). It grew out of the projected closure of Kidderminster Hospital (to which so many had contributed with fund-raising). This prompted mass protest and street parades and, ultimately, the rejection of the sitting Labour MP - a junior Minister. The party remains fundamentally concerned with the provision of health facilities and the delivery of all that results in ‘good health’ it is associated with concern for all aspects of a healthy community - education for all ages, support for the disabled and the elderly, transport, arts and entertainment, nature and the environment.

“Independent Health Concern (IHC), popularly known as “Health Concern”, is a political party based in Wyre Forest. It was founded in 1999 and grew out of the campaign to restore emergency services at Kidderminster Hospital. The NHS, local and general, remains a crucial interest, and so after a year of lock-down we are disturbed to see Covid- 19 challenging the NHS to its limit. The pitiful 1% pay rise has offended NHS staff intolerably. We will support these staff members in all ways that we can. Since contesting elections at all levels, with great success, the party continues to support local communities on all matters of importance. Being independent of major parties and their whips, party members can vote in favour of all issues benefiting the local people and opposing those that do not. This great privilege enabled me, when I was the Wyre Forest M.P. from 2001 – 2010, to vote with the government or against it as the occasion indicated. At Health Concern we pride ourselves as being a local party whose members live and work in their area and know and share the hopes and needs of those they represent.” Dr. Richard Taylor M.B.E.
