Mrs Hodgson has made 40 debate speeches across 12 health and social care topics, with particular focus on women's health, mental health, and cancer. Her contributions span policy implementation discussions, including recent advocacy for compensation to those harmed by valproate and vaginal mesh, and support for statutory protections in early childhood services through the Infants, Parents and Carers Bill. She has engaged substantively on preventative health measures, health inequalities, and NHS service developments including lung cancer screening and women's health pathways.

  • “The lung cancer screening programme is already making a difference by helping to find lung cancers earlier, when they are easier to treat. By focusing first on areas with the greatest need, it is also helping to narrow the gap in lung cancer outcomes. The programme can also identify other serious health conditions.”
