Biography
Simon Hoare has engaged on health and social care topics primarily through debate speeches, with a particular focus on NHS dentistry access in rural areas, which he raised repeatedly across multiple parliamentary sessions as requiring root-and-branch contract reform to improve viability. He has also contributed to broader policy discussions touching on elderly care and dementia, adult social care reform (emphasising the need for cross-party working and improved coordination between departments), and public health measures including the Tobacco and Vapes Bill. His contributions demonstrate sustained attention to rural healthcare delivery challenges and systemic issues in social care funding and responsibility.

“…North Dorset, but they know, as I do, that we in this place have been discussing the inadequacy of the dental contract for years.
