Biography
Amanda Martin has engaged extensively on health and social care through 40 debate speeches, with particular emphasis on mental health—notably male suicide in the construction industry and men's wellbeing more broadly—alongside significant contributions on NHS operational challenges including corridor care and hospital discharge. She has also raised cancer (breast and prostate), dementia care provision, unpaid and kinship carers, and broader issues including GP access and public health. Her contributions frequently connect health topics to her Portsmouth North constituency and often highlight the experiences of specific groups, including armed forces personnel and construction workers.

What they’ve said
“The hon. Member rightly highlights the fantastic work of kinship carers. One area that often goes unrecognised is siblings who take on their younger brothers and sisters.”

“…Alan Knight, a true Pompey goalkeeping legend, died aged 65 following a battle with prostate cancer. I had the privilege of meeting Alan many times over the years through my work as an MP, as a member of the Pompey Supporters’ Trust board, as a lifelong Pompey fan and at my own nan’s funeral.”

“Sir David Amess understood what every Member of this House should remember: our greatest privilege is representing the people and places who send us here. He never missed an opportunity to celebrate Southend, and today I want to do the same for Portsmouth.”

“…There is no clearer sign of the failure of the NHS under the Conservatives than the fact that corridor care was allowed to become normal. Only a few weeks ago, I was in the Queen Alexandra hospital in my constituency watching my dad being cared for in a corridor.”
