Biography
Ian Sollom has engaged extensively on health and social care through 28 debate speeches, with particular focus on mental health and learning disability services, patient safety in NHS reforms, and end-of-life care. His contributions frequently draw on constituency cases—such as Declan Morrison's death in a section 136 suite and the Arthur Rank hospice funding crisis—to illustrate systemic gaps in crisis provision, accountability and specialist care. He has also raised concerns about NHS workforce shortages, including health visitors and community nurses, alongside issues ranging from online harms affecting children's mental health to wheelchair provision waiting times.
