Biography
Lord Berkeley of Knighton has engaged with health and social care issues through two debate speeches in Parliament. He spoke on prostate cancer, describing his positive experience with rapid diagnostic pathways and MRI screening following elevated PSA levels, whilst noting the need for adjusted monitoring protocols. He also contributed to debate on the Mental Health Bill, raising concerns about children witnessing inappropriate behaviour, including violence and sexual acts, during visits to adult psychiatric wards.

“…Within 36 hours, the surgery to which I go, run by the excellent Dr Sheldon, had put me on a cancer pathway and offered me an MRI. I was absolutely amazed by this efficiency. The news, I am glad to say, was good, but it was the third time that I had had an MRI.”

What they’ve said
“…The reason for that is that I regularly visited a friend in an adult ward, suffering, funnily enough, from eating disorders, among other things. So I support Amendment 144 most strongly. What shocked me was that, over several years, there were two children I saw.”
