Biography
Jerome Mayhew has engaged substantially on health and social care through 33 debate speeches, with particular focus on dentistry access, bus services affecting healthcare transport (including SEND travel and school contracts), and regulatory impacts on health services such as mountain rescue. His contributions have often centred on practical policy implementation, cost implications, and the balance between accessibility and funding sustainability. While the extracts provided do not extensively cover the other health topics listed (cancer, mental health, waiting lists, etc.), his speeches demonstrate sustained parliamentary engagement on healthcare-adjacent transport and access issues.

“…The hon. Member for Guildford (Zöe Franklin), in a powerful speech, referred to a constituent who has stage 4 cancer and has been waiting nine months and counting for a decision. That is totally unacceptable. Across 2025-26 the overall average was over 56 days, missing the Government’s already slack target of 50 days.”

“…bout the most loved, must trusted and most supported organisations in our country, I think of the RNLI, the Air Ambulance Service, the hospice movement and mountain rescue. They have something important in common: they are not adjuncts of the state.”

“Happy new year to you, Mr Mundell, and all other hon. Members. I thank the hon. and learned Member for Folkestone and Hythe (Tony Vaughan) and, through him, Mrs Karen Hickman, who created the petition we are debating, which comes from a sentiment that we can all agree with.”
