Jim Shannon

Democratic Unionist Party — Strangford

Speaking in the House of Commons on 21 October 2026

Debate

University Hospital of North Tees

Contribution

I commend the hon. Gentleman for securing this debate, which is not specific to one corner of the mainland; as an example, our South Eastern health and social care trust has to find savings of £50.7 million. Does he acknowledge that the capital and resource crises across our United Kingdom are interconnected and that patient safety should always be paramount? Ensuring the availability of the resources it needs to keep patients safe should be the NHS’s priority at all times.
