Biography
Kevin Hollinrake has engaged on health and social care topics primarily through debate speeches across four areas: adult social care funding pressures on local authorities, public health concerns arising from the Birmingham bin strike, and policy issues affecting maternity provision and special educational needs. His contributions have focused on critiquing government and council responses to crises, particularly emphasising the financial burden on councils from rising demand in adult social care and temporary accommodation. The speeches reflect concerns about both service delivery and the economic impacts of government policies on vulnerable populations and key sectors.
