Sarah Dyke

Liberal Democrat — Glastonbury and Somerton

Speaking in the House of Commons on 11 November 2024

Debate

Mental Health: Farming and Agricultural Communities

Contribution

I thank the hon. Member for giving way and congratulate her on securing this important debate. The Royal Agricultural Benevolent Institution’s big farming survey also found that 52% of farmers experience regular pain and discomfort, while one in four has mobility problems. Does she agree that we must recognise that physical health has an impact on mental health, and ensure that the NHS, GPs and mental health services are joined up?
