Biography
Dr Marie Tidball has engaged extensively on health and social care through 40 debate speeches, with a strong focus on disabled people's access to care and treatment across multiple areas including maternity services, mental health, and end-of-life provisions. She has consistently raised the specific barriers facing disabled women—particularly the 44% higher stillbirth rate and discrimination in maternity care—drawing on personal experience and engagement with constituent groups and disabled activists. Her contributions also address practical NHS access issues such as dentistry provision and prosthetic services, alongside support for legislative protections including safeguards in the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill and principles of co-production with disabled people in policy development.
