Biography
Sarah Champion has engaged extensively on international development and humanitarian issues across 15 debate speeches, with particular focus on overseas aid reductions, conflict prevention in Sudan and Gaza, and child protection within the Victims and Courts Bill. While the topics listed include health and social care areas such as assisted dying, mental health, and NHS waiting lists, the recent contributions provided show her engagement has been concentrated on international affairs, child safeguarding, and environmental policy rather than these health topics. Her contributions demonstrate sustained advocacy on specific legislative matters, including new clauses and amendments on child sexual abuse compensation and community gardening.

“I have watched the assisted dying debate for many years, since it started in Oregon. Many countries across the world now have assisted dying, including some of our Crown dependencies, and I am pleased that this Bill builds on the good and rejects the bad that can be seen.”
