Baroness Merron (Lab)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 10 February 2026

Debate

Better Start Longitudinal Programmes

Contribution

I think I heard what my noble friend said: I got the gist. What matters is not just that we are in a position where children’s health and well-being is not where it should be but that we are pulling together all the best examples of practice, including Sure Start and family hubs, and investing in provision, services and information. This will take us forward to a situation where we genuinely have the healthiest generation ever. That is not something we have now, particularly in the more disadvantaged areas.
