Biography
Dr Caroline Johnson has engaged extensively on health and social care through 40 debate speeches, addressing a wide range of topics including NHS waiting lists, workforce issues, and cancer care, with particular emphasis on women's health and gynaecology services. Her contributions frequently draw on her professional background as an NHS consultant paediatrician, declaring this interest regularly while scrutinising government health policy, notably on matters such as NHS management regulation, advice and guidance services in primary care, and hospice funding. She has raised concerns about rising waiting lists under the current government and advocated for measures including private provider involvement and guaranteed three-year hospice funding allocations.
