Biography
Sean Woodcock has engaged extensively on health and social care through 40 debate speeches, with particular focus on the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill, where he contributed multiple detailed interventions on amendments concerning drug regulation, medical oversight, and NHS responsibility. He has also raised maternity care in north Oxfordshire, mental health services for children and adolescents, and hospital provision in his constituency, framing these within broader concerns about service quality and equity of access. His contributions reflect both constituency-specific advocacy and engagement with wider health policy questions, notably advocating for NHS-led implementation of assisted dying provisions rather than private provision.

“…The Conservatives left our communities with sky-high NHS waiting lists. They left village schools that were literally crumbling. They left terrible infrastructure and country roads riddled with potholes. They left rivers like the Cherwell in decline, clogged with sewage.”

“I am grateful to the hon. Gentleman for finally giving way. He has been very generous, as always, with his time.

“…While charities such as Peeps offer support to anybody affected, NHS mental health support can often be restricted to just the mother. This leaves fathers and partners—who are also deeply affected—to cope alone. Support must and should be for the whole family.”

“…Our mental health services, especially for children and adolescents, are severely under-resourced. Families are waiting far too long for help, even in the most serious cases.”
