Contribution

Q7. It is great to see the NHS moving forward, with a reduction in waiting lists and improving relations with our junior doctors, my colleagues. However, in order to keep our NHS working well in the long term, we must get serious about prevention. Every year, more than 30,000 deaths in our country are attributed to poor air quality. Ella Kissi-Debrah’s mum knows this all too well; her little girl was just nine years old when she died as a direct result of air pollution. Seventy years on from the Clean Air Act 1956, will the Deputy Prime Minister support a much-needed update to this essential law, to protect the future of our NHS and to keep our children healthy?
