Liberal Democrat — North Norfolk

Speaking in the House of Commons on 13 November 2026

Debate

Coastal Communities (Health) Bill

Contribution

That surely defies all sense. I understand, as my hon. Friend alluded to, that for reasons of professional development and training it may not be possible to deliver all services in all areas, but acute and emergency care is surely beyond reproach. I am yet to hear any understanding or potential safeguards for that risk from the Government, either here or in the other place. There was no acknowledgment of it when I brought forward and spoke to an amendment on the Health Bill, or when Lord Patel did so in the other place. Coastal communities deserve an explanation of why the Government are not ensuring that health services are delivered for them.
