Biography
Sir Lindsay Hoyle, as Speaker of the House of Commons, has engaged with health and social care topics primarily through procedural statements and debate management rather than substantive policy contributions. His most significant engagement involved facilitating parliamentary proceedings on the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill in June 2025, where he managed amendments and debate structure. He has also made occasional interventions on health matters, including noting the Mental Health Act 2025 receiving Royal Assent and expressing support for hospice funding in his constituency.

“Order. The question is about waiting lists, and I am sorry but we have got to stick to it. [Interruption.] Order. Mr Logan, I was very good in bringing you in, especially with health being devolved, so please let us not change the question before us. Helen Morgan will be a good example.”
