Biography
Mr Snowden has engaged substantially with health and social care topics through 12 debate speeches, raising concerns about maternity services at Blackpool Victoria hospital following CQC inspections, NHS dentistry access and contract issues in rural and coastal areas, adult social care funding pressures on local authorities, and provision for specific patient needs such as public toilet access for people with stomas. He has also contributed to debates on rare diseases including Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome and on childhood cancer, drawing on personal and constituent experiences to highlight gaps in NHS provision and funding. His contributions reflect a focus on practical healthcare challenges affecting his Fylde constituency and the wider North West region.
