Speeches by Coleman.

“And if it was a paper voucher, would you then match Sainsbury’s and offer £2 on top, or £1 even?”

“But you have a financial incentive to take whichever brand pays you most, regardless of its nutritional content.”

“What about Aldi?”

“I congratulate my right hon. Friend on his excellent speech and the strong points that he is delivering. I associate myself with the remarks of my hon. Friend the Member for Stevenage (Kevin Bonavia) about Malta. As a member of the Health and Social Care Committee, I have also been approached by Queen Mary University. …”

“Residents in Chelsea and Fulham have experienced years of poor service and unfair treatment from managing agents, so I know how pleased they will be by this Government’s determination to do the right thing by leaseholders after years of, sadly, weak regulation under the Conservatives. May I take this opportunity to tel…”

“I am most grateful to my hon. Friend for calling for this important debate. The Health and Social Care Committee are currently doing an inquiry into food, and supermarkets will be coming in shortly to talk to us about how they operate—we will have a lot of questions to ask. Obesity and nutrition are a particular challe…”

“I am grateful to my hon. Friend for securing the debate. Gambling is one of the most pernicious public health issues of our times, as we have said on the Health and Social Care Committee. It has to be seen as a public health issue. Children who are bombarded with gambling ads on social media and who are learning to see…”

“I thank my hon. Friend for securing the debate. We talk about smoothing the relationship, so will he join me in welcoming the new entente amicale between the UK and France? Will he also join me in recognising how that is strengthened by the 11 French-English bilingual schools in our country, such as the tremendous Fulh…”

“The hon. Member talks about the amount of money raised in tax from gambling companies. Can he also give us the figures for the amount of money that the NHS has to spend each year on the mental health issues and other problems that arise from gambling addiction?”

“I am extremely grateful to my hon. Friend the Member for Brent East (Dawn Butler) for securing this important debate. Gambling is a subject that the Health and Social Care Committee has looked at in some detail, and it is clear from what I have heard from witnesses, from talking to the National Gambling Clinic—it is in…”

“Is it going to be palliative care as a whole, and children may not specifically be mentioned? The point we are making is that children and young people have to be explicitly mentioned. Children are already the poor relation in the NHS generally, but when it comes to children who have palliative care needs, that is even…”

“Will that definition be repeated and bleed through to all the guidance that you come out with, and the framework and all that stuff? Are you going to make the difference explicit in the two?”

“Can I clarify something? This is quite broad, but I want to be very specific. My colleague has raised one of the most important points. Children with life-limiting or life-threatening conditions who need palliative care and who may live into their 30s or 40s are different, as my colleague said. Have you clearly got tha…”

“Will you check whether they are doing that properly?”

“What will you change in the way that the NHS thinks and behaves when it comes to local authorities to enable palliative care—or whatever area—to become better?”

“You do not see at the top of the NHS an intellectual challenge in respecting local authorities and working with them on a genuine partnership basis, as opposed to, “We have to get them in line as well as everybody else”? It is about how you start thinking about a problem and who your partners really are, and whether th…”

“I understand that, and it is all on paper. In practice, the NHS tends to say what needs to happen in a quite unpartnership-focused, if I can use horrible jargon, or—in normal language—dictatorial way. Are you aware of that?”

“I am a little lost. Are you saying they do not know what to do because they are not properly trained?”

“But the ICB itself is so often the problem, because it is the NHS. There is one, or maybe two or three, but that is going to change. As I say, the 10-year plan wants to reduce the already rather small presence of local authorities on ICBs. The ICBs are effectively NHS organisations that tell local authorities what to d…”

“That is very helpful, and I completely agree with you. As a conceptual approach, I very much support that. There were some very interesting comments about your experience of coming in as a Health Minister and dealing with the situation and the system as you found it. How keen are you to overcome the blockage in the rel…”
