Biography
Tim Roca has engaged primarily through debate speeches across five health and social care topics, with particular focus on NHS dentistry reform in rural areas and sudden cardiac death awareness. His contributions reflect both casework engagement—such as contacting local surgeries in Macclesfield to document NHS patient access issues—and constituency-specific advocacy, including commending a local family's fundraising efforts for cardiac screening. He has also raised concerns about incomplete data on NHS mental health waiting times and questioned the alignment of contracts with prevention-based approaches to dentistry.

“In January 2023, Mia Jennings died suddenly from a cardiac event. She was a swimming instructor, star apprentice, and, by all accounts, a wonderful young lady. Since her passing, her family have made incredible efforts to raise money for CRY—over £50,000—bringing screening directly to communities across Macclesfield.”

What they’ve said
“My hon. Friend is making a powerful speech on behalf of his constituents, and he has mentioned dentistry challenges in his area. Like other Members, he has talked about the contract, which currently rewards activity rather than prevention. Is that one of the changes that he would like to see?”

“…The Yale School of Public Health humanitarian research lab says, conservatively, that there are at least 6,000 children held at camps in Russia at the moment. There has also been the incredible spectre of North Korean troops fighting on this continent for a terrible dictatorship.”
