Liberal Democrat — Oxford West and Abingdon

Speaking in the House of Commons on 26 March 2026

Debate

Palliative Care

Contribution

I commend the right hon. Gentleman for his campaigning on this issue over many years. Together for Short Lives was indeed a contributor to the two reports. Its specific recommendation on babies, children and young people’s care was that we need better specialist pan-ICB commissioning that is modelled on other services. They are a tiny proportion of an already tiny population, and they are so often forgotten. As I mentioned in my speech, they are considered an add-on at the end of a commissioning process, but we need to start with them. They deserve so much more thought than they currently get.
