Biography
Baroness Hussein-Ece has engaged on health and social care matters primarily through eight debate speeches, with a particular focus on maternity services and health inequalities affecting vulnerable groups. Her contributions have consistently highlighted systemic failures in listening to women's concerns—whether in maternity care, medical settings, or domestic abuse situations—and the need to ensure women's voices are centred in healthcare decision-making. She has also raised concerns about access to primary healthcare for people with learning disabilities and the impact of domestic abuse on children's mental health and education.

“…In many places, the maternal health clinic may still stand, but the midwife is gone. There is no emergency obstetric equipment, no post-rape kits and no contraceptives left on the shelves.”
