Dr Al Pinkerton

Liberal Democrat — Surrey Heath

Speaking in the House of Commons on 17 November 2025

Debate

Parkinson’s Disease

Contribution

In advance of this debate, my constituent Tony contacted me to say that he had been diagnosed with Parkinson’s in 2019 but has only seen a specialist three times in the six years that have followed. Does the hon. Lady agree that access to a specialist is vital, not least for quelling anxiety, but also to help those with Parkinson’s to develop plans to help them to live independent lives?
