Speeches by Fenton-Glynn.

“Thank you, Dr Dash. One of the big parts of your job will be enabling the delivery of the three key shifts. I looked at something that you said in an interview with the Institute for Government. It is a slightly abridged quote, but you said that we could roll out neighbourhood care “within probably a few weeks in North…”

“Parts of it will cry out for change, but I am curious as to what you think the difficult conversations are going to be.”

“What kind of challenge do you expect from the BMA?”

“It is a pleasure to serve under your chairmanship, Sir Christopher. I thank the hon. Member for Chichester (Jess Brown-Fuller) for securing this important debate. I should note at the start my officership in the APPG for infant feeding and the APPG on single-parent families. Women’s health is often an already under-pri…”

“Stories of children arriving for lessons hungry are far too common in my constituency and across the country, and the issue was exacerbated by the massive rise in child poverty under the last Government. Because of the actions of this Labour Government, however, my constituency will see pilots in Cornholme junior, infa…”

“The Calder Valley line was listed as a top priority for improvements by Transport for the North’s electrification taskforce 10 years ago, back in 2015, yet my constituents are still waiting for those improvements. Will the Minister commit this Government to delivering the infrastructure for my constituents that the las…”

“Thank you. I really appreciate you all taking the time to answer my questions.”

“But not the least.”

“This may be more for Courtney and Harry: are we a little bit too focused on expecting people to be the perfect patients, with no co-occurring conditions and things like that? What kind of models can help us move beyond that?”

“Just for the report, is that because we are not training enough people, because not enough people are going into training or because we are not employing enough people?”

“One of the things that came across today was patchy access in the experience of mental health provision. CQC figures show that less than half of those who managed to access mental health provision said they got what they needed. I think it was 39%. Why is that, Lucy?”

“Given that the Tory predecessor of the hon. Member for Huntingdon (Ben Obese-Jecty) failed to mention RAAC once, and mentioned Hinchingbrooke hospital only five times in 23 years, does the Minister agree that people in Huntingdon and across the country need a Labour Government committed to rebuilding the NHS, not a Tor…”

“Is that 16% have a turnover—”

“In her 2022 report, the Domestic Abuse Commissioner warned of “A Patchwork of Provision” in local services. Just six in 10 victims reported being able to access a helpline, and only four in 10 reported being able to obtain refuge accommodation. Local organisations such as WomenCentre Calderdale and Kirklees do fantasti…”

“1. What assessment she has made with Cabinet colleagues of the accessibility of domestic violence prevention services for women.”

“My final question is looking at what good examples of retention are. When I ran a care service in Calderdale, we had a small care company—the Equal Care Co-Op—which gave more power to the staff. They also paid slightly higher. They had good retention and some positive stories. Could you leave us with a couple of positi…”

“I am going to move us on to workforce strategies, which you just trailed. In that last answer you gave a statistic that I think I saw four of our members writing down. I want to check on that. Did you say that 14% of people who are discharged from hospital have the care packages they need? Is that correct?”

“So 14% of carers didn’t have?”

“To clarify the statistic, because it is the kind of thing that may end up in the report, that is carers feeling they have support, so people may be getting the care package, but the carers do not feel they have the support or an idea of what care they—”

“I would love it if you could send us some further information as to what the 86% looks like, just so that we can get an idea of where we are not getting the care right and what that means in terms of hospital discharge.”
