On new clause 117, in June, thyroid surgery left me with vocal cord paralysis, as Members can particularly hear today. This has given me a real and unwelcome insight into the challenges faced by people who experience voice loss. According to the Lary Project, around 30% of adults will experience voice loss at some point in their life. Speech and language therapists could often resolve these issues entirely, but access to therapy is determined by a postcode lottery.
