Biography

Naushabah Khan has engaged with health and social care primarily through nine debate speeches, focusing particularly on NHS waiting lists and corridor care, adult social care reform, and A&E pressures at her local Medway Maritime hospital. She has emphasised the need for faster implementation of social care reforms and highlighted specific service failures, including patients waiting 50 hours to be seen in emergency departments. Her contributions reflect both national NHS challenges and concerns specific to her Gillingham and Rainham constituency.
