Dr Danny Chambers

Liberal Democrat — Winchester

Speaking in the House of Commons on 28 October 2025

Debate

Obesity and Fatty Liver Disease

Contribution

Fantastic. Hopefully it will improve people’s mental health—and if they leave halfway through, it will probably improve their physical health, too. That is a fantastic initiative. Other Members have talked about the soaring rate of liver deaths, which has shot up in the last 20 years. The hon. Member for Worthing West talked about it costing the NHS £6.9 billion directly, and some studies show that it has cost the economy over £100 billion in other ways, such as from people being off work.
