Biography
Sureena Brackenridge has engaged on health and social care topics primarily through debate speeches, raising 12 distinct issues including health inequalities, hospital discharge, dementia, and support for people with autism and diabetes. Her contributions frequently emphasise removing barriers to care and services—whether through integrated patient records, pharmacy access, or removing stigma around neurodiversity—often grounding her arguments in her Wolverhampton North East constituency's specific challenges such as significant life expectancy gaps. She has also highlighted systemic issues affecting NHS staff, including ambulance service bottlenecks and A&E pressures, alongside broader social determinants like child poverty and educational inequality.

What they’ve said
“…One can only assume it is because health inequalities have continued to widen for far too long. In a 20 or 30-minute drive across my Wolverhampton North East constituency, life expectancy drops by seven years.”

“I agree. The absence of a community pharmacy leaves a vacuum on the high street that is felt by residents. I am sure that Members across this Chamber will appreciate that factor as well.
