His contributions have focused notably on pensioner support and social care funding pressures, particularly criticising government decisions on winter fuel payments and hospice financing, whilst also addressing rural health inequalities and healthcare provision in the East of England region. He has demonstrated particular concern for vulnerable populations, including those with dementia and people receiving end-of-life care.
