Liberal Democrat — Mid Sussex

Speaking in the House of Commons on 6 January 2025

Debate

Health and Adult Social Care Reform

Contribution

I would appreciate it if the Secretary of State could unpack a phrase in his statement. He said: “Where we can treat working people faster, we will”. That phrase is ripe for misinterpretation. Please could he explain what that means? Does it mean stay-at-home mums waiting for an appointment, and family carers, 26% of whom are on waiting lists?
