Biography
Ben Goldsborough has engaged on health and social care topics primarily through debate speeches, with notable personal advocacy around cancer prevention and skin cancer screening following his own diagnosis with stage 2C melanoma. He has raised concerns about NHS dentistry access in Norfolk, GP service pressures in his growing constituency, and has championed "Zoe's law" campaigning for improved mole histological testing. His contributions reflect a pattern of linking local health service challenges—particularly in rural areas—with broader policy concerns around preventive care and NHS capacity.

“Three hundred and eighty-eight days ago, the words were uttered to me, “You have stage 2C skin cancer.” I have had 388 days of scans, operations and treatments that did not need to happen, because preventive care could have stopped me getting skin cancer. That is why today’s statement is so important.”
