What they’ve raised
Jamie Stone has engaged extensively with health and social care issues through 26 debate speeches, with particular focus on maternity services in his Scottish Highland constituency, where he has repeatedly raised concerns about mothers having to travel long distances to give birth following the downgrade of consultant-led services in Wick. He has also addressed broader health system challenges including NHS waiting lists, social care workforce retention and its impact on hospital discharge, and mental health provision in schools. His contributions reflect a devolutionist perspective, frequently contextualising UK-wide health policy within Scotland's devolved framework and his constituency's geographic challenges.
