Labour (Co-op) — Lothian East

Speaking in the House of Commons on 6 March 2025

Debate

Devolved Administrations

Contribution

My hon. Friend raises a key and important challenge. In every part of these islands, public services need both resources and reform given the Government’s inheritance back in July. The UK Health Secretary has set out ambitious plans to roll out new AI technologies, upgrade the NHS app and reform the healthcare system to bring down waiting lists. Last week, my right hon. Friend the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster met devolved Government Ministers to discuss public service reform, data sharing and harnessing work on public service reform across these islands.
