Biography
Karl Turner has raised three distinct health issues through parliamentary speeches and statements: mental health (addressing work-related stress and its impact), learning disability and autism support, and rare diseases (specifically motor neurone disease). His engagement has primarily taken the form of debate speeches, including a contribution during Mental Health Awareness Week referencing his personal experience with mental health-related loss, and a topical question raising concerns about NHS service coordination for a constituent with motor neurone disease. Turner has also delivered a personal statement paying tribute to a family friend.

“My constituent Craig Eskrett was diagnosed with motor neurone disease 12 months ago. He says that the services are there in the local NHS trust, but there is a distinct lack of co-ordination. Will the Minister meet me to discuss what improvements can be made to co-ordinate those services for sufferers of MND?”
