Conservative — Salisbury

Speaking in the House of Commons on 12 November 2026

Debate

Business of the House

Contribution

The Leader of the House will be aware of the controversy around sodium valproate and the lack of clarity over what is going to happen following the Hughes report of February 2024. In an Adjournment debate just two weeks ago, the Minister for Public Health and Patient Safety, the right hon. Member for Kingston upon Hull North and Cottingham (Dame Diana Johnson), said that a decision on financial redress has not been made. Will the Leader of the House urgently make time for a statement from a Health Minister on this important matter? I know from my experience of working on the infected blood compensation scheme that the longer these matters are delayed, the worse the cost and the distress caused will be.
