Biography
Mr Alaba has engaged with health and social care primarily through debate speeches, with a particular focus on mental health support for young carers, cancer treatment and diagnosis, and safe patient discharge. He has repeatedly emphasised prevention and community-based care, notably commending investment in new NHS equipment and asking about the impact of national plans on his constituents' access to services. His contributions have drawn on constituent cases—including young carers supporting sectioned parents and patients discharged with inadequate equipment—to illustrate systemic gaps requiring policy action.
