Speaking in the House of Lords on 28 January 2026

Debate

Children’s Wellbeing and Schools Bill

Contribution

Why are our nurses and doctors commissioned to solve our problems of poverty when they are not trained to do it? They should be allowed to get on with the job of making people healthy. When we have 50% of people at my local hospital, Addenbrooke’s, coming from food poverty—when that is the make-up of the people who use the hospitals and use the surgeries—we have to say, “Something is going wrong”.
