Biography
Carla Denyer has engaged on children's health and mental health primarily through nine debate speeches, with a particular focus on transgender healthcare access for young people, including discussions of puberty blockers and NHS waiting lists for gender identity clinics. She has also raised concerns about children's views not being meaningfully embedded in safeguarding decisions, and spoken to broader public health issues including environmental health impacts and prevention of future deaths tracking mechanisms. Her contributions reflect a consistent theme of advocating for improved healthcare access and better consideration of young people's experiences in policy decisions.
