Labour — Sefton Central

Speaking in the House of Commons on 20 January 2026

Debate

Contribution

That situation partly explains some of the delays: at the moment, a specialist is the only person who can give a diagnosis because of the complexities that the hon. Member for Strangford (Jim Shannon) just referred to.
