Speeches by Beales.

“In terms of resourcing, from data we saw through a parliamentary question about the levels of spend from NHS England on vaccinations, it has fallen year on year over the last three or four years in both real and percentage terms. The previous panel talked about the need for resources for primary care, outreach, health …”

“Should we expect, based on the situation you have just described, resources to be at a maintained or increased level?”

“It is slightly worrying that we do not know when we will get back to high coverage rates, that we have no target for it and that it is not in a strategy.”

“Can you share any more information about that projection? Will the levels of financing in real terms, percentage terms, or both be maintained or increased over the next three years compared with the previous three, which have seen a decline every year?”

“David and Michelle, when will the UK reach the 95% level?”

“When will we get back from the WHO our measles elimination status, which we lost this year? Do you have a target? Do you have any expectation?”

“Is it a problem that we do not know when we will get back our measles elimination status?”

“Can you write to the Committee to outline what you expect the budget for vaccinations to be going forward?”

“I apologise, but time is quite tight. We are going to come on to ICBs. My colleague is going to ask about it. Since the removal from planning guidance, rates of vaccination have gone up. It has not had a negative effect. Is that your view nationally and in your area?”

“You do not think it is had an effect, but it would be useful to have it in there?”

“I am an MP with a Conservative council, and a colleague from the Conservative Croydon council area—[Interruption.] Conservative Members cheer; unfortunately, it is a bankrupt Tory council, but luckily this Government are stepping in, have followed the deprivation and the need, and are properly funding that council, reg…”

“My hon. Friend makes an excellent point. Rightly, this Government are putting more money back into local government for the first time in many years. That is long overdue, but that money has to be well spent. Unfortunately, what he describes in Harrow is quite similar to the experience of my residents in Hillingdon. Th…”

“If you believe a conspiracy theory or misinformation, are you likely to go out and seek a GP?”

“It would help with local prioritisation. We have heard from ICBs that it has made no difference to rates. Michelle, is that your formal view? The data suggests there has been no further decline in vaccination levels since the removal of the target from planning guidance.”

“Do you think it would be helpful to have it back in the planning guidance for next year?”

“I have been contacted by over 400 of my constituents who are calling for greater regulation of social media and young people’s use of it. There is disagreement about whether there should be a full or partial ban, and the exact age at which it should be introduced. Regardless of where the Government’s consultation leads…”

“12. What steps her Department is taking to help protect young people online.”

“If things are not successful, but no one is aware that they have not been successful, is that not creating a system that continues to make the same mistakes in different ways?”

“You pilot the things because they are in the 10-year health plan. Is that the view: that whatever is in the 10-year health plan has to be piloted? How does it get identified as something that should be in the 10-year health plan?”

“Finally, the innovation ecosystem programme report recommended budgets for innovation that span multiple years, ideally spending review periods. Do you think that it is possible or realistic to have budgets for piloting and innovation that go beyond three years, so beyond spending review periods?”
