Democratic Unionist Party — Strangford

Speaking in the House of Commons on 17 December 2024

Debate

Musculoskeletal Conditions

Contribution

I commend the hon. Lady for securing this debate. There have been some worrying trends in the press in the last six months, in relation to children as young as 11. Does she agree that the NHS plan for change over the next five years is necessary, given that children as young as 11 are being diagnosed with arthritis? We need help and guidance for those whose lives might be impaired from an early age right through to older life, and who need coping mechanisms. The importance of this debate cannot be underlined enough.
