Jayne Kirkham

Labour (Co-op) — Truro and Falmouth

Speaking in the House of Commons on 19 November 2025

Debate

Myalgic Encephalomyelitis

Contribution

I want to quickly mention one of those 25% of people with ME who are severely affected: my constituent Alice. She cannot leave her room, and is scared to call for treatment in case she has to go into hospital: she has been into hospital twice, but people there are not sure how to treat her and they make it worse. I simply want to empathise on behalf of my constituents, one of whom is one of the very severe cases the hon. Lady is talking about.
