Speeches by Craft.

“I wanted to briefly circle back to non-reimbursable charges. It will probably be no surprise that I have an issue in my constituency with some GP practices. Their issue relates very much to historic service charges to NHS Property Services. You seem to be implying that it is more of a decision, potentially, for the Sec…”

“I was going to ask if it is an NHS Property Services issue. If it is a matter of abiding within the terms of their lease, is that lease from you?”

“Are there governance issues with these organisations in allowing their space to be used by other organisations?”

“Thank you. Beccy, what kind of role do you think non-NHS settings have? Again—you touched on this briefly—there may be issues around contractual liability frameworks. What role could non-NHS settings and services play in delivering a neighbourhood health service? Are there issues around that taking place?”

“What are those red-line, siloed barriers?”

“I think I know the answer to this, but is it the case, as you have already reflected, that all organisations basically look at their own interest rather than an overarching understanding of the purpose?”

“I think the question is: how do you take those examples and roll them out? What are the barriers in other places that stop everyone from being able to do that?”

“Thank you, Chair. That leads nicely on to my first question. On the use of space, there is data that around 438,000 square metres of NHS space is not being used effectively. What kind of practical changes could be used to unlock this space? We all recognise that it is a heartbreaking situation, but what could be done?”

“To come back to the idea of having various organisations potentially just looking after their own interests, is there almost a cultural barrier to break down for people to see the overarching aim, which is to serve community health interests better?”

“Like many other Members on both sides of the House, I am often struck by the courage and bravery of bereaved families who have lost loved ones to knife crime. Last year I spoke to a father who had lost his son, and who is dedicated to improving life and seeing positive change in other communities to ensure that no one …”

“1. What steps he is taking to improve underperforming hospital trusts.”

“I welcome the Secretary of State’s work in improving the NHS and turning fortunes around, but as he has said, that is unfortunately not the case in every area of the country, including my own. Mid and South Essex NHS foundation trust, which looks after constituents in my area including at Basildon university hospital, …”

“We provide for it by meeting need at the earliest opportunity. It is about addressing it before it reaches crisis point, unlike the situation we are in now. We would not do this for any other condition. We would not say, “There are too many people out there with cancer—we should stop diagnosing cancer.” It would not wo…”

“I should like to declare an interest as a member of the all-party parliamentary group for special educational needs and disabilities and as the parent of a child with an EHCP. I congratulate the hon. Member for Farnham and Bordon (Gregory Stafford) on securing the debate. This is a deeply important subject and, like ma…”

“Will the right hon. Gentleman give way on that point?”

“I agree 100%. We could work out the lifetime cost of a parent being out of work to care for their child who should be in education or in a suitable school, or even the cost of a parent having to draw back from working a certain amount of hours or from reaching where they could go in their career because of the stress t…”

“What measures have you got in place to address whether or not the actions you are taking are successful?”

“Is there a risk that if the UK online and offline markets are regulated people will then opt to go elsewhere? Does that cause concern for you?”

“Is there a worry that people unable to access medication via UK online or offline routes are then going elsewhere?”

“Are you confident that that data that you are able to collect from this method reflects the accurate situation on the ground?”
