Biography
Sarah Dyke has engaged extensively on health and social care through 40 debate speeches, with particular focus on rural health provision, maternity services, mental health (especially in farming communities), and dentistry access. Her contributions frequently highlight constituent cases—such as concerns about Yeovil's specialist baby unit closure and dental care deserts in Somerset—to illustrate systemic gaps in provision. She has also raised broader preventive health initiatives, including neighbourhood health plans and support for vulnerable families such as parents of multiple births.
