Lisa Smart

Liberal Democrat — Hazel Grove

Speaking in the House of Commons on 18 March 2025

Debate

Welfare Reform

Contribution

Many of my Hazel Grove constituents are keen as mustard to get back to work, but they are waiting for either a diagnosis or treatment on the NHS. That is made more difficult because of the capital spending needed at Stepping Hill hospital, and because mental health services across Greater Manchester are stretched too thin. What assurance can the Secretary of State give my constituents that her announcements today will not make an already difficult time in their lives even more difficult?
