Liberal Democrat — Mid Dorset and North Poole

Speaking in the House of Commons on 1 June 2026

Debate

Health Bill

Contribution

The Secretary of State has not talked about the role of the governors of hospital trusts, which also appear to be abolished by the Bill. With the creation of mega-ICBs, the removal of healthwatch, and the removal of governors, I am worried that the voice of the local community is reducing rather than increasing.
