Biography
Mike Kane has engaged extensively with respiratory and maternity health issues through 12 debate speeches, with particular focus on his Wythenshawe and Sale East constituency. He has advocated for scaling up early COPD diagnosis programmes, questioned follow-up of incidental lung cancer screening findings, and raised concerns about maternity service safety ratings at his local hospital. He has also connected public health prevention to active travel policy, noting that walking and cycling could address type 2 diabetes, hypertension, and COPD in his constituents.
