Biography
Peter Swallow has engaged extensively on health and social care through 40 debate speeches, with particular focus on mental health support for young people, special educational needs provision, and cancer diagnosis and screening. His contributions reflect personal experience—notably referencing his mother's death from lung cancer 17 years ago when advocating for improved lung cancer screening services—alongside policy engagement on SEND accountability, vulnerable care-experienced young people in mental health crises, and cardiac screening for at-risk youth. He has also highlighted practical barriers to healthcare access for constituents in Bracknell Forest, such as difficulties obtaining routine diagnostics locally.
