Sir Gavin Williamson has engaged on health and social care matters primarily through seven debate speeches, raising concerns across maternity services, cancer treatment, dementia support, and palliative care. His contributions have often been constituency-focused, including advocating for a constituent with acute myeloid leukaemia regarding stem cell transplant eligibility rules and raising funding concerns for children's hospices affected by National Insurance changes.

“The hon. Gentleman makes an interesting point, but let us look at children’s hospices, which will be down £4.9 million. Most funding for children’s hospices does not come from the Government; it comes from communities and from people supporting them.”
