Biography
Robertson has engaged extensively on health and social care through 40 debate speeches, with particular focus on dementia care, unpaid carers, and health system integration. He has consistently advocated for stronger accountability mechanisms, including proposing an annual parliamentary report on NHS and social care provision for dementia, and has emphasised the importance of maintaining independent patient representation and local authority involvement in integrated care planning. His contributions reflect concern about the practical impacts of health system reorganisation on service delivery and vulnerable populations, including frail elderly patients and those living with dementia.
