Biography
Perran Moon has engaged extensively with health and social care topics through 21 debate speeches, with particular focus on regional health inequalities affecting rural and coastal communities in Cornwall, including NHS workforce capacity during tourist season peaks, SEND provision and transport delays, and mental health and neurodiversity awareness. He has also raised specific health challenges including childhood obesity rates, ADHD diagnosis and awareness, motor neurone disease research funding, and the health impacts of hidden deprivation in remote coastal areas. His contributions consistently connect health and care issues to broader systemic problems such as housing shortages and transport inadequacy.

“…On SEND, Cornwall is the 11th least funded of 151 local authorities, receiving less than half the per pupil funding of councils in Kensington and Chelsea, and about £500 less than places in Manchester. Much of Cornwall’s population lives in pretty poverty. It is isolated, deprived and hidden from Westminster.”
