Biography
Based on the Hansard extracts provided, Patrick Spencer's recent engagement does not substantively cover the health and social care topics listed (public health & prevention, mental health, learning disability & autism, heart disease & stroke, A&E & ambulance response). While he made a brief reference to mental health impacts of parental debt in a speech on the Children's Wellbeing and Schools Bill, and mentioned children with special educational needs in committee discussion of National Insurance contributions, these do not constitute meaningful engagement on the specified health and social care areas. The extracts show engagement primarily on rural crime, education policy, and National Insurance rather than the health topics indicated.
