Biography
Morton has engaged extensively on palliative and end-of-life care through 28 debate speeches, consistently raising concerns about hospice funding gaps, postcode lotteries, and the impact of national insurance contributions on the charity sector. She has also contributed to debates on learning disability and autism, public health, GP access, maternity services, and heart disease, though these topics appear less frequently in her recent parliamentary activity. Her engagement reflects a strong focus on health and social care issues affecting her West Midlands constituency, particularly around hospice sustainability and healthcare equity.

“On the specific point of hospices, I absolutely understand what the hon. Lady is saying; I have visited our local hospices, and I have sat beside my father when he was dying, but not in a hospice. The point about palliative care absolutely matters, but the Government do not recognise the funding that the sector needs.”

“The right hon. Gentleman is so right. People might ask why I, as a Member of Parliament, am talking about something as simple as litter and fly-tipping, but this criminal activity is costing the taxpayer, costing wildlife and costing our communities.”
