Biography
Jonathan Davies has engaged on his seven designated health and social care topics primarily through 15 debate speeches in the Commons, with particular emphasis on learning disability and autism issues affecting his Derbyshire constituency, including SEND provision failings and concerns about the Ada Belfield care centre. His contributions on assisted dying focused on scrutiny of the Bill's detail and safety concerns, while his engagement on unpaid carers and adult social care has centred on the impacts of previous funding cuts and the need for improved support and provision. He has also raised mental health in connection with educational pressures on students and special educational needs.

“…Budget, but it was to get over £20 billion into the NHS, which I hope will improve respite care. We saw huge cuts to local authorities under the last Government, and we are paying for that in different ways, including in Derbyshire.”

“…Leaders at the Derby college group told me that some of their students, including some with special educational needs, get trapped in a seemingly endless cycle of English and maths resits.
