Speaking in the House of Commons on 6 March 2025

Business of the House

Contribution

May I draw the House’s attention to my position as chair of the all-party groups on long covid and on myalgic encephalomyelitis (ME)? In recognition of International Women’s Day, I wish to draw attention to the significant gender disparity in the impact of chronic illnesses. Given the gravity of the issue, will the Leader of the House commit to holding a debate on women’s health inequalities, with particular focus on those living with ME, long covid, and other chronic illnesses?
