Biography
Alicia Kearns has engaged on health and social care topics primarily through debate speeches across 12 topics, with particular prominence given to end-of-life care and assisted dying, on which she made multiple contributions drawing on her personal experience of life-threatening complications following childbirth. She has also raised concerns about maternal mortality, children's mental health in relation to social media, cancer strategy, and NHS workforce issues, frequently connecting policy discussions to real-world impacts on constituents and vulnerable populations.
