Speeches by Cooper.

“Data has been amassed and surveillance systems have been strengthened through the Fleming Fund. Will the funding for that data amalgamation, collection, surveillance-strengthening and fortification continue elsewhere or will that funding not continue and we will simply take what we have learnt and change into a differe…”

“To be fair, vaccines are also part of the preventative package, so my question is—I absolutely hear you about diagnostics: I chair the APPG on AMR—where in that strategic package of prevention, and perhaps this is a WHO question, are we considering diagnostics? Are we considering diagnostics as part of a preventative m…”

“Thank you, Chair. It is good to hear that AMR—antimicrobial resistance—is at the top of your agenda; or I suppose not good, but it is a necessity. Can we please hear about the closure of the Fleming Fund? I know that you know that it has been central for global efforts to build lab capacity, enable data sharing and str…”

“Will that continue to happen?”

“Looking at global health and security as well as specifically at AMR through the global health and security APPG and the AMR APPG, we have been discussing with the Cabinet Office the National Security Strategy and where AMR fits into that particular approach. Baroness Chapman, from an FCDO point of view, how do you see…”

“Going back to health system strengthening, it is the perennial conversation of everybody in international health. Health system strengthening basically is the pandemic preparedness baseline, it is non-communicable diseases baseline; it is everything. For us in the Global North, I wonder what the conversations are aroun…”

“Sorry, Minister, when you said “committed to doing” you are committed to making sure that the Global South—”

“Oh, I am sorry, Sir Edward.”

“I thank the hon. Member for Tunbridge Wells (Mike Martin) for securing this debate. The crisis in SEND provision is inextricable from the crisis in health and social care, and it is a shameful legacy of the neglect of the austerity years, but funding is not the only issue. What we see with SEND in West Sussex happens b…”

“I agree with my hon. Friend, and I will come to that point later. In public health, we focus primarily on prevention care for the population. In other words, we take decisions, using the best available evidence, that have the potential to impact the health of thousands, if not millions, of people. There is almost alway…”

“I thank colleagues across the House for bringing thought and sensitivity to the debates here and in Committee. I often think that this place does not show the best of us, but in proceedings on this Bill, I have heard considered debate; people have listened to each other set out both sides of the argument. As a new MP, …”

“I thank my hon. Friend for his intervention, but this Bill is not about negating end-of-life care. If anything, it is shining a spotlight on it and saying that care, dignity and choice at the end of our lives should be afforded to us all. That brings me to my final thoughts on legislating for choice—our freedom from an…”

“What an outstanding service that sounds. I know there is a creative mental health all-party parliamentary group taking place today. We underestimate the benefits of exposure to the creative arts for all of us, specifically for those with dementia. My hon. Friend is absolutely right and I thank him for raising that. Cle…”

“I thank the hon. Member for South Devon (Caroline Voaden) for bringing this important debate to the House this afternoon. I also thank other Members for sharing such personal testimonies; as well as bringing broader context, it really adds value to what this House brings to our national conversation. As a public health…”

“I want to ask a little bit more about the data and what you are seeing about people who are in work and people who are out of work. I know, Professor Barr, you talked about inequalities and the disparities perhaps geographically, but do people who are in work across the mental and physical health spectrum generally dis…”
