Speeches by Fenton-Glynn.

“18. What assessment he has made of the effectiveness of Government advertising through social media.”

“Another issue my hon. Friend may wish to reflect on is that the council tax base differs from place to place, so councils are even more disadvantaged than the NHS on funding.”

“The hon. Member has frequently been quick to criticise NHS pay rises. Will there be more or fewer sickness absences in the ambulance service if its staff are better paid?”

“rose—”

“I am pleased to be called to speak in this important debate, Madam Deputy Speaker. When we talk about the NHS, we can argue either about specific investments or about general principles, and like many colleagues, I have received a great amount of correspondence highlighting no end of specific areas where investment is …”

“Under the last Government, 20% of NHS doctors were thinking about moving overseas. Does the hon. Lady agree that solving GP contracts is a first step towards keeping GPs working in this country?”

“I thank the Prime Minister for today’s statement, and for his diplomatic efforts to restore our international reputation since taking office. Will my right hon. Friend confirm the basic principle that no decision can be made about the future of Ukraine without including its elected leadership in the negotiations, and t…”

“I welcome this statement because I think it is important that we talk about our tone in public life. I worry that sometimes the public outside the Chamber do not see this House as being the best arbiter of appropriate tone. In fact, in recent days I have heard jokes about suicide, I have seen sexism and so much more. D…”

“I welcome the hon. Member’s interest in the Chagos islands and his desire for detail. It is obviously an issue he is very passionate about, but he has not mentioned it previously in his time in Parliament. I wonder whether, given his desire for detail, he could let us know the names of the four main Chagos islands?”

“I thank the hon. Member for securing this important debate. I note that I am an officer of the APPG on single-parent families. The recent excellent report from Gingerbread on fixing the CMS noted that where child maintenance is paid, child poverty is 25% lower in those families. Does he agree that Gingerbread’s work is…”

“And then run with it as the reforming zealot that you are.”

“You have talked about hospitals and about trying to bring people together. Do you think there are other vested interests you will have to overcome to deliver the three shifts?”

“It is an honour to serve under your chairmanship, Sir Desmond. I thank the hon. Member for Stockton West (Matt Vickers) for securing this debate, which has been a wonderful tour of Members’ high streets, although, as a member of the Health and Social Care Committee, I cannot recommend a deep-fried Mars bar. I pay tribu…”

“My hon. Friend will know that getting it right for the most vulnerable children is important, but we are increasingly seeing post-separation abuse and post-separation financial abuse coming to light. Indeed, the report from Gingerbread that I cited earlier said that 45% of people who report post-separation financial ab…”

“Forgive me, but you are talking around the subject. You are essentially saying that we need to pull money out of hospitals and put it into the community.”

“In your role as chair, which is obviously different from the chief executive role, your job is to enable the chief executive to make those three shifts. In terms of your leadership position, setting the vision and enabling them to do it, what do you foresee as the big challenges?”

“No, for you as chair. What will you have to do to enable the chief exec?”

“I feel a bit like in your answers either you go very operational and talk about things that you have seen on an ICB level, or you pull back and you are quite general and then say, “Well, the 10-year plan isn’t in yet.” For the chair of this organisation—the person who is going to deliver the change—I am almost looking …”

“I pay tribute to my gallant and hon. Friend for her service and pay tribute to my hon. Friend the Member for Leyton and Wanstead (Mr Bailey) for his. Will she look back to that experience and say what kind of support those in the forces want? Did they want more funding for our defence or did they want another debate ab…”

“Fantastic. Thank you very much.”
