Biography
Baroness D'Souza has made seven debate speeches across diverse policy areas including national security, child poverty, international crimes, abortion and assisted dying, women's rights, civil service impartiality, and UK security strategy. While the topics tracked include learning disability, autism, public health, mental health, and maternity care, the recent contributions provided do not address these health and social care subjects. Her engagement has focused on broader constitutional, international, and social policy matters rather than the health topics listed.
