Biography
Siân Berry has engaged extensively with health and social care through 36 debate speeches, with a particular focus on assisted dying, health inequalities, and environmental health determinants. She championed the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill on grounds of personal conscience and constituent support, and advocated strongly for expanding local authorities' health duties to include green space access and environmental pollution in the English Devolution and Community Empowerment Bill. Her contributions also addressed air quality legislation, the health impacts of fuel poverty, and poverty-driven health inequalities, reflecting a cross-cutting interest in the social determinants of health.

“…I want to add a cross-party voice to the debate. The Greens were not whipped on the issue of assisted dying—we do not whip our Members in any debates—but all four Green MPs voted for this issue of conscience.
