Speeches by Entwistle.

“In effect, it is basically a ban without actually banning it.”

“Q13. I thank the Prime Minister for his strong words at our party conference in calling for unity at a time when many feel that our country is divided, and in rightly calling out racism. I am a second-generation immigrant, born in this country, and people like me and so many of our constituents have every right to be h…”

“I thank hon. Members from both sides of the House who have taken part in this debate, and I thank the Minister for her response, in which she touched on a broad range of subjects. I am grateful to the hon. Member for Winchester (Dr Chambers) for highlighting the regional inequalities, which are particularly important, …”

“I completely agree with the hon. Gentleman, and I will come on to GP surgeries in more detail. None of this is from a lack of effort. Our GPs and practice teams are working flat out. What is needed is joined-up care with real accountability. When a discharge is planned, the equipment and care package must already be in…”

“I beg to move, That this House has considered healthcare in Bolton. It is a pleasure to serve under your chairship, Ms Lewell. I declare an interest as a member of the Women and Equalities Committee. Improving the quality of healthcare is a cause close to my heart, and I am pleased to be joined by my fellow Boltonian, …”

“May I welcome our new Minister and Justice Secretary to their places? I have heard far too many stories from constituents who have endured sexual violence and rape. They tell me how isolating and intimidating the court system can feel and how difficult it can be to get the support they need. Will the Minister reassure …”

“8. What steps his Department is taking to support victims of rape and sexual violence through the court system.”

“It comes back to the point you made earlier about role models, doesn’t it, Rebecca? Having that visual representation and having those role models available is hugely important. You have mentioned funding issues, and I want to touch on funding a bit more. Does the BSL Advisory Board have a view on funding for Deaf spor…”

“My first question is for Craig—we are moving on to sport. Could you explain why there are no Deaf or hard-of-hearing categories in the Paralympic games, and whether Deaf people tend to prefer to have their own international sporting event, the Deaflympics?”

“The United Nations estimates that more than 28,000 women and girls have been killed in Gaza over the last two years. We know from recent events that international pressure is not working. Does my hon. Friend agree that we must go further to ensure that aid is allowed to flow in freely and lasting peace is reached?”

“My first question is for Cathy and Kat. The Government’s Plan for Change talked about shifting care from hospitals into more community-based settings. I wanted to know to what extent this has meant an increase in resources for sexual health services. If you could talk a little about the impact that you think the spendi…”

“I have a final question around the reproductive health inquiry that we are doing. We found that there needs to be a better use of women and girls’ interactions with healthcare settings—for example, visits to sexual health services—to detect reproductive ill health. To what extent is that something that sexual health cl…”

“The point that you made about not just tacking on services, but really thinking about using those opportunities, utilising them well and establishing those links is really important.”

“I will take that on board as a GM MP.”

“Kat, aside from more funding, are there any other steps the Government could take to improve the ability of sexual health services to carry out their functions? How do you think the abolition of NHS England will affect sexual health services?”

“Maybe thinking a bit more about the process itself and where there might be—as you mentioned—barriers in place that could be easily removed or tweaked to speed up the process a bit?”

“T6. Parental leave is just as essential for families who adopt as it is for those with biological children, giving vital time for bonding. However, many adoptive families cannot access the same paid leave. What steps is the Minister taking to ensure equal parental leave for adoptive parents?”

“My question is for both Alison and Andy. How does the MHRA monitor the safety of breast implants particularly in light of BIA-ALCL and concerns around symptoms known as breast implant illness?”

“What work is taking place on the safety of siloxanes and their impact on the human body?”

“My questions are around how the NHS makes sure a patient is able to give informed consent to a breast augmentation, particularly given the lack of data on associated risks, as you mentioned. What follow-up care and post-surveillance is given to patients who have received breast implants from the NHS?”
