Speeches by Beales.

“I understand what you say about the need for social prescribing and the value of the voluntary sector, and that often those links are not being made at diagnosis; people are given pills but not Pilates. But do you think there is a risk that something like Diagnosis Connect or voluntary sector-led support is seen as sec…”

“Emma, you talked very briefly earlier about Diagnosis Connect. What opportunities do you see for schemes like this to embed voluntary sector support and physical activity programmes into the management of care for people with long-term health conditions?”

“Professor Skelton, the 10-year health plan recognises the role of technology, particularly wearables, in getting people active. To what extent do you think there is a role for wearables and digital technology with older people?”

“Is there a role for digital technology for particular groups and not for others?”

“Specifically regarding Diagnosis Connect, from what we have seen in the evidence, this is an app-based approach that will enable people to directly connect to broader voluntary sector services at the point of diagnosis, is that correct?”

“Is there a case for investing more in designing specific digital interventions for older people? As the private market is gearing to a different consumer, do the NHS or the public sector have to invest in this?”

“As you say, designing these wearables and technologies may not be as exciting, sexy or multifunctional, but they must be usable for people with limited mobility or dexterity or visual—”

“A blended model is a better approach?”

“Are there any thoughts about how this would relate to the NHS app that is under development and expansion? Is it going to be a completely parallel system?”

“I share the hon. Member’s view of the general public’s opinion on the issue, but as a cabinet member during seven years of planning and redevelopment in Camden, I rarely heard those voices in planning committees. Unfortunately, the voices that are heard are often disproportionately against development and do not repres…”

“I thank my right hon. Friend for that contribution. It is true that many of my constituents tell me the story of turning up at the civic centre with a plastic bag of their belongings to be told there are no homes in Hillingdon. The best they can expect is temporary accommodation, often in communities far away, with no …”

“It is a pleasure to serve under your chairmanship, Mr Mundell. I thank the hon. Member for Old Bexley and Sidcup (Mr French) for securing this timely debate about Government support for house building in London. House building is vital for growth, jobs and many businesses in our communities, big and small. However, it …”

“I want to ask about advertising. Lauren, you talked about a portfolio approach to companies. Chris, you talked about the brands as much as the products. Is there any food company with a healthy portfolio or any healthy food brand that would be advertised? Are we talking about ending advertising of food companies in out…”

“Is there any product within that range that is non-HFSS?”

“My colleague is going to pick up other forms—”

“My colleague is going to come on to that.”

“What company sells fruit and veg and advertises fruit and veg on TV? My challenge is whether we are talking about ending food advertising as we know it. All companies that currently advertise would not be able to.”

“If we think about the amount of energy that has gone into these regulations—political energy, Government energy—and the challenges you are presenting, a huge amount of time has been spent trying to design them, but as you said, there are a number of loopholes and challenges, which raises questions about their effective…”

“But are you aware of any company or brand with a portfolio of products that is generally healthy?”

“I very much understand the point about the broader range of products and the ludicrous nature of a restriction that does not then apply if you slightly tweak it, but it is the same product ultimately. We are coming to a pure brand point. I understand the challenge that you are putting to us—that advertising Domino’s, M…”
