Speaking in the House of Lords on 21 January 2025

Debate

Health and Social Care: Winter Update

Contribution

I made a call for creativity, and I compliment the right reverend Prelate on his creativity; I will certainly pass on his comments to my colleagues. I am delighted to agree with him about the importance not just of places of worship but of communities, including faith communities. As the right reverend Prelate said, we can find the finest examples of community provision which support the NHS and social care through churches, synagogues, mosques and other places of worship. I pay tribute to and thank all those that do this. Of course, this is overwhelmingly done by volunteers, and I pay tribute to all of the volunteers in faith communities and beyond.
