Liz Kendall

Labour — Leicester West

Speaking in the House of Commons on 18 March 2025

Debate

Welfare Reform

Contribution

My hon. Friend is right. One of the things we learned during the pandemic is that a healthy nation and a healthy economy are two sides of the same coin. I believe we need to do much, much more to join up what the DWP does with what the NHS and, crucially, local skills and voluntary organisations do. That is not the way we have worked in the past, but that is what we want to change.
