Labour — Cannock Chase

Speaking in the House of Commons on 26 March 2026

Debate

Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome and Craniocervical Instability

Contribution

I absolutely agree with both my hon. Friends. They echo what I have heard from many of my constituents. This issue is often overlooked, and we need to do so much better for many thousands of people across the country, so I thank them for sharing their constituents’ experiences. So many people are in a similar situation to Connor’s, which is not unusual. Many people have told me that they have been diagnosed with Munchausen syndrome, so they are not just dismissed but told that their condition is fictitious.
