Speeches by Beales.

“Do you get a sense of when biosimilars may be available?”

“In terms of risk around that and trust in the data you are given by the patient, do you hold that risk? Are you responsible for that risk?”

“This is perhaps a question for you all. How do you monitor engagement and take-up in the additional services you provide? Are you confident that the videos that you are providing, the consultations, are being utilised by the patient? We have all done online HR mandatory modules, where we click very quickly to get throu…”

“I will just pick up on that point about competitiveness and competitive advantage. Is it not the case that those much-visited cities—Paris, Rome, many cities in Spain and others throughout Europe—have measures such as this proposed levy, yet they have not seen decreases in tourism? How is that a competitive advantage p…”

“Is it standard practice that GPs would be kept informed?”

“I think we have four Opposition Members on the application.”

“Thank you very much, Chair. I thank the Committee for hearing our application. I am here with other members of the Health and Social Care Committee, which is supporting the debate. Layla, who is another co-sponsor, gives her apologies for not being able to be here; a Health and Social Care Committee meeting is happenin…”

“We did a one-off, so we have not done a full inquiry. As Jen said, that one-off shone a light on some of the questions, but we have not—”

“Right. I will be guided by the Committee, really. Sorry—we misread the form in that sense. We thought that we had to have four Opposition Members. We are happy to source more or, as I say, we are happy to accept either Westminster Hall or the main Chamber. We feel that there would be quite strong interest, so ideally w…”

“I thank the Minister for that response. As well as grid capacity for much-needed new homes and infrastructure such as Hillingdon hospital, capacity is needed in west London for the large number of data centres being proposed at a regional level. What actions are being taken to strategically co-ordinate those demands an…”

“We need seven for a main Chamber application?”

“2. What steps he is taking to increase grid capacity in west London.”

“I wish to present a petition about the imminent closure of the post office on Uxbridge High Street. With no plans for an alternative provision, this has left many of my constituents devastated, especially those vulnerable people in my constituency who rely on this vital service. Over various community petitions, led by…”

“How has that worked in practice? Have you, in a board meeting, looked at it and said, “This year we have seen 1,000 more EHCPs, and that means this”?”

“Elliot, from your perspective—the trust perspective—have you seen increasing waiting lists for treatments, assessments and diagnoses?”

“Has that fed through to commissioning decisions, in terms of staffing and specialisms?”

“Why do you think that is?”

“Is this symptomatic of the broader low prioritisation that paediatrics has?”

“Morning, everyone, and thank you for your time. It has been suggested that long waits for assessments, for treatment and for access to care of different sorts might be contributing to rising demand for EHCPs as conditions worsen. To what extent is that your experience in your localities? Is that something that you are …”

“What about for an adult population? If there was a group of adults who needed feeding tubes put back in in the community, there wouldn’t necessarily be a plan that would always deliver that specific funding for the NHS, but you would still resource nurses to go out to elderly patients and do that, so why must it be ful…”
