That's the end of the BBC WM debate from Solihull.

Local Live returns with news, sport, travel and weather from 08:00 Friday

• Mike Nattrass, from Independence from Europe says HS2 "isn't worth it".

• The Conservative's Julian Knight says he's a strong supporter of HS2 as there is "too much focussed on the south east of England".

• Howard Allen (pictured) from the Green's, says the money could be "better used elsewhere" on local infrastructure.

• Philip Henrick, from UKIP, calls it "the biggest white elephant you will ever see".

• Labour's Nigel Knowles (below) said the people haven't been consulted, "only the MPs".

Philip Henrick (UKIP, pictured)- We have an opportunity in Solihull to set an example, and that whoever wins the seat should remember that the boss is the people of Solihull.

Julian Knight (Conservative)- says that going into politics should be a vocation, not a career.

There's applause from the audience as David Page from Solihull asks whether MPs are "fit for purpose".

• Conservative Julian Knight (left) says having a "one-stop shop" for patients in Solihull will not hit small GP practices.

• Lib Dem Lorely Burt (right) also backed the "one-stop shop" in the town and says she doesn't think "we should lose our small practices".

The candidates are now talking about integrating health and social care.

• Philip Henrick UKIP: We can better integrate by cutting the foreign aid budget.

• Labour's Nigel Knowles says we do need a more integrated system.

The next question comes from Yvonne Washborne who is a member of the West Midlands Pensioners Convention.

"Does the panel support integrating health and social care services and if so how would it work, and how would you pay for it?"

Howard Allen from the Greens says his party has promised free social care for the elderly.

UKIP's Phil Henrick says NHS needs more money but it needs to be spent in the right way, not management's wages.

Mike Nattrass from Independence from Europe said withdrawal from the EU would save money it would then "pump into the NHS".

Conservative's Julian Knight said his party will continue to invest more in the NHS "paid for by economic growth".

Nigel Knowles says Labour will pump in more more paid for by a mansion tax, a tobacco tax and clamping down on tax evasion.

Liberal Democrat Lorely Burt called for an integrated service, involving the NHS and the emergency service working together using a "Solihull pound".

This is me introducing the candidates.

Our first question this evening comes from Chloe Molyneux who is a Trainee Accountant from Solihull.

"Should we be pumping more money into the NHS or look at using the funding already in place and setting serious and achievable targets? "
