Labour — Birkenhead

Speaking in the House of Commons on 15 October 2026

Debate

National Care Service

Contribution

The point raised by the Father of the House is an important one, and it is one for the further discussions that we will have next summer once the Casey commission has reported. The steps that I wish to take in the immediate weeks and months are focused on improving what we can within the care system now. None the less, he raises an important point.
