Biography

# Summary This summary cannot be completed as requested because the provided Hansard extracts do not contain substantive engagement on the four health and social care topics listed (A&E & ambulance response, Public health & prevention, NHS & care workforce/staffing, Mental health). The extracts show Lord Harris of Haringey speaking on defence readiness, civil preparedness for war, NHS industrial action (briefly), and the Covid-19 inquiry, but they do not contain material demonstrating direct engagement with the specified health topics in a manner that would allow an accurate factual summary.

Generated from their own Hansard record, below

“…This had consequences: the largest number of category 1 call-outs ever for the London Ambulance Service, train disruptions and IT failures. Last year’s hot temperatures saw wildfires, with the busiest night for the London Fire Brigade since the Blitz.”

What they’ve said

  • “…These then need to be amplified through broadcast and social media platforms. Think back to the major public health programmes that have taken place in the past: these were multimedia and you could not escape them. Everybody knew about them and everybody understood them.”

  • “My Lords, will my noble friend tell us what proportion of resident doctors are taking action and what are the consequences for individuals when they do? You hear stories of individuals deciding to take a long weekend and in practice it is leave rather than anything else.”

  • “…ask wearing—all overshadowed by nearly 250,000 Covid-related deaths, to say nothing of the toll on physical and mental health across the population. The report from the noble and learned Baroness, Lady Hallett, necessarily focuses on national pandemic preparedness, but what her report says has a much wider salience.”
