Biography
The contributions provided do not contain substantive engagement on the six health and social care topics listed (adult social care, maternity and neonatal, NHS waiting lists, public health, learning disability and autism, or mental health). While one speech briefly mentions a Scottish social care joint council framework in the context of employment rights, and another references long-term sickness and statutory sick pay levels, these are peripheral to broader employment and labour debates rather than focused health and social care contributions. The extracted speeches primarily address foreign policy, employment rights, and state pension issues.

“I congratulate my hon. Friend the Member for Aberdeenshire North and Moray East (Seamus Logan) on securing the urgent question. Major aid cuts have happened, and a peacebuilding programme in Sudan was cancelled, which led to our failure to respond to the emerging civil war and the resulting genocide.”

“I associate myself and the SNP with the Foreign Secretary’s comments on the appalling attack on Bondi Beach. I welcome the statement condemning what the CCP has done with the political sham of a trial, simply for Jimmy Lai expressing his belief in democracy and freedom. However, the statement does not go far enough.”

“…The Scottish Government are also providing funding to enable adult social care workers to be paid the living wage, benefiting up to 40,000 care workers, and they are working to ensure that all staff in private nurseries delivering our childcare pledge are paid the real living wage, too.”

“…Scottish social care joint council is preferable and should assume the role of the Adult Social Care Negotiating Body for England. Scotland already has a 10-year history of joint commitments to fair work, whereas England is only embarking on that journey.”

“I appreciate the comments that have been made in this short debate. Just to be clear, the new clause is about issues that are not currently protected under the Modern Slavery Act 2015 and are often under-reported.”

“I thought there was a doppelganger in the Chamber for a second, Mr Speaker. A new Government can make political choices, and one would have thought that, in the week before Christmas, they would be positive choices—things that people could take home and feel grateful and happy about on Christmas Day.”
