Speaking in the House of Lords on 21 July 2025

Debate

NHS England: Staff Costs

Contribution

My experience of the Covid virus taught me about the impact of health inequalities and where people suffered the most. It is absolutely imperative for this Government to look at health inequalities, and everything in the 10-year plan is based on that premise. We know how unequal services are and how unequal life expectancy is. We know that people living just a few miles down the road from others in the same city can have a more than 10-year difference in life expectancy. This is absolutely at the centre of the 10-year plan and why we are doing it and will deliver for patients in this country.
