Biography
John Grady has engaged extensively with health and social care issues through 16 debate speeches, with particular focus on NHS waiting lists in Scotland, which he has raised repeatedly as a persistent problem affecting poverty and health outcomes in his Glasgow constituency. His contributions have addressed diverse health topics including cancer treatment standards, mental health support (particularly around addiction and drug consumption facilities), and maternity care, often contextualising health challenges within broader concerns about poverty and life expectancy in Glasgow. He has also referenced preventive health measures, such as fireworks safety regulation, alongside advocating for Sure Start as an effective public health policy.
