Speeches by Craft.

“To pick up on backlogs of notifications and information of concern, are providers not being notified that you have concerns around the way in which they have been operating following an inspection?”

“So there is potential there for quite significant safeguarding issues around people flagging things early on.”

“Do you have an idea of the numbers in that backlog?”

“I understand that they were made for a good reason. There is definitely something in making sure that people have an idea of how their health provider is assessed so they can make those kinds of judgments themselves, but it clearly doesn’t work. Something clearly went wrong in the design and development. You are now lo…”

“I am trying to understand what went wrong in the design and development of it. Clearly, Sir Mike Richards’s report and the Dash report have commented that it does not work. It does not do what it is supposed to do; it does not provide a single assessment framework. You have 34 different quality statements, so it is pic…”

“You can appreciate the level of shock that we felt on that. Without understanding what that particular case entails, there could be a significant issue behind that. I will just move slightly on from this to the single assessment framework. The development and implementation of the single assessment framework appears to…”

“Would that mean someone has made a report of a concern and they have not received a response since August?”

“Thank you. To move slightly on into the single assessment framework in general—”

“What is the longest that people are having to wait, outside of that 10-day timeframe? Do you track that?”

“That is the concern, isn’t it—that the triaging system is effective? If you have reported something that you have a concern around, it may need further action, or it may not. You need to know that someone has seen that who knows how to make an appropriate decision. It feels like, at the moment, there is a potential for…”

“The historical bankruptcy in Thurrock, from which my constituents are still suffering, is symptomatic of a system of local government that is letting people down badly. Devolution and reorganisation represent a once-in-a-generation opportunity to capitalise on growing opportunities in Essex, deliver better value and im…”

“Do you think single-word assessments are fit for purpose? When people look at a CQC rating, will they understand that the provider they are looking at will give the care for themselves or their loved one?”

“15. What assessment she has made of the adequacy of the condition of local roads.”

“Potholes plague the streets of Thurrock and are a daily reminder of 14 years of Conservative neglect. Stifford Clays, where my own tentative attempts to learn to drive took place, is particularly bad, but the effects are felt throughout my constituency. I am pleased that the Secretary of State is tackling this issue, w…”

“I begin by paying tribute to the hon. Member for Lagan Valley (Sorcha Eastwood). Her speech was incredibly courageous and brave. In recent days, like most women Members of this House, I assume, I have received online abuse, but her courage and bravery inspire us all, and give us the confidence to stand here. I give her…”

“Following on from the hospital delayed discharge issue, one of the questions that came up, which follows the discussions that we had about how this is paid for and who pays, is that where the savings are realised, it is often not in the Department that has to pay the upfront costs. Do you have any thoughts on models th…”

“To go a little wider, and focusing on collaboration and who pays, Sir Andrew, you touched on how paying for adult social care through the same mechanism by which people pay for their bin collection—local council tax—is perhaps not necessarily how people would opt to do it. This is perhaps a wider question, but do you t…”

“Is a shift needed in attitudes towards disability? I think about some of the framing around entitlement and scrounger narratives that we see in some of the nastier parts of discussion on this issue. If some people receive care that they need to go about their lives, this is not receiving something above and beyond what…”

“I congratulate my hon. Friend the Member for Bournemouth East (Tom Hayes) on securing this debate. Playgrounds are a vital part of local community infrastructure, and free access to outside play space locally is something that all children should have the opportunity to enjoy. However, for disabled children and their f…”

“I want to quickly touch on the issue of funding. Simon, you mentioned that you have done work with the public to test where they think the money to pay for this should come from, and that the individual should pay some costs but the state should bear the majority. Do you have a feeling for the general appetite, whether…”
