Biography
Lord Mott has engaged extensively on cancer care, particularly prostate and rare cancers, alongside NHS operational challenges including waiting lists and GP access, primarily through debate speeches in the Lords. He has also contributed to learning disability and autism issues through committee work on young disabled people's transition to employment, and addressed public health prevention through speeches on respiratory vaccination and tobacco control legislation. His engagement reflects a focus on diagnostic inequities and NHS service delivery pressures, with particular emphasis on early cancer detection and reducing unnecessary A&E attendance through improved GP provision.
