Labour — Pontefract, Castleford and Knottingley

Speaking in the House of Commons on 9 September 2026

Debate

Summer Health and Resilience

Contribution

I thank my hon. Friend for recognising the crucial role that ambulance staff and paramedics play in our emergency care, and the importance of the NHS supporting its staff—our NHS is the staff; it is the people who make up the service. I do not know the details of the individual case she raises, but I will ensure that it is passed on to NHS England. I certainly agree that we need to ensure that staff have the support they need.
