At the moment, mental health uses a different system from the hospital, and it would be great to unite them. I agree with that, but…01 Jun 2026HANSARD Health BillIt is a pleasure to speak in support of the Bill, which I believe has the power to transform patient care in the NHS. Particularly after the remarks of my hon. Friend the Member…01 Jun 2026HANSARDSudden Unexpected Death in EpilepsyI thank the hon. Gentleman for bringing this really essential debate to the House.

The Minister has delivered on that, although there have been some problems recently, which he may…24 Feb 2026HANSARDGaza Healthcare SystemI absolutely agree.
