Speaking in the House of Lords on 12 June 2025

Debate

Children’s Wellbeing and Schools Bill

Contribution

Amendment 107A, tabled by the noble Baroness, Lady Barran, is a probing amendment that seeks to place a duty on the Secretary of State to have regard to the needs of care leavers when negotiating general practice contracts in the future. I have something to add to her list, which is the timing of appointments. Why are appointments so often held at times when it is very difficult for young people with family support to get to them, never mind if they are on their own? That is my personal observation.
