Biography
Jamie Stone has engaged with health and social care topics primarily through 26 debate speeches, with particular emphasis on maternity services in his Scottish Highland constituency, where he has repeatedly highlighted the closure of consultant-led services in Wick forcing pregnant mothers to travel over 200 miles to give birth. He has also advocated on social care workforce retention and its impact on hospital discharge delays, mental health support in schools, and NHS waiting lists, often connecting these issues to the specific challenges of rural healthcare provision in the UK's largest constituency.

“…Some years ago the Scottish Government, in their infinite wisdom, decided to downgrade a consultant-led maternity service based in Wick, which is at the top of the UK, near John O’Groats, to a midwife-led service.”

“Further to the remarks of the hon. Member for Arbroath and Broughty Ferry (Stephen Gethins) about Scotland, where pregnant mothers in my constituency have to make a 200-mile round trip to give birth, would it not be great if some of this money was spent to make the maternity service fair for mums?”
