Biography
Chris Murray has engaged on health and social care through eight debate speeches, with a notable focus on NHS waiting lists and cancer treatment. He raised concerns about cancer patients travelling abroad for treatment due to Britain's poorer outcomes compared to European countries, and highlighted that older people in his Edinburgh constituency face 18-month waits for procedures like hip replacements. His contributions reflect an emphasis on systemic NHS challenges rather than detailed policy questioning.
