Her contributions also address mental health, NHS waiting lists, dentistry access, and support for disabled and neurodivergent children, often drawing on personal experience or constituent casework. Beyond health, she has spoken frequently on rural infrastructure, community services, and women's safety, reflecting her representation of rural Somerset constituencies.
