Mike Martin

Liberal Democrat — Tunbridge Wells

Speaking in the House of Commons on 5 March 2025

Debate

Department of Health and Social Care

Contribution

The Government’s policy is actually achieving the opposite for social care of what the hon. Member for Farnham and Bordon (Gregory Stafford) suggests. Peter runs a small domiciliary service in my constituency that is going bust. That means 35 people without a job, a loss of £100,000 in taxes every year, and all those patients now blocking beds in hospitals. Does my hon. Friend the Member for Oxford West and Abingdon (Layla Moran) agree that the Government’s policies are downgrading and trashing social care, rather than boosting it?
