In the run-up to the General Election on 4 July, Devoncast is seeking to speak to as many local candidates as possible.
This time it was the turn of Liberal Democrat candidate Richard Foord, who was the MP for the former Tiverton and Honiton seat in the last Parliament, and Labour candidate Jake Bonetta, two of eight candidates vying for the new Honiton and Sidmouth constituency.
We asked the pair about their priorities, including their views on the health service and how they might shape it if elected, as well as a host of other issues.
The pair are passionate about the subject, with Mr Bonetta recently recovering from major surgery and Mr Foord believing that community health needs greater investment.
And we delved into what the candidates believe they could offer the voters of this constituency.
