Speeches by Hamilton.

“3. What assessment he has made of the adequacy of the provision of health services for women.”

“I thank my hon. Friend for such a brilliant report. I welcome the commitment to an accessible road map as part of Labour’s transformational Great British Railways reform. What positive role does my hon. Friend see this road map playing in improving accessible travel across the country?”

“I thank the hon. Member for Huntingdon (Ben Obese-Jecty) for securing this important debate. Knife crime continues to cast a dark shadow over our communities, claiming young lives, shattering families and leaving a trail of devastation in its wake. Last year, 10 people were stabbed every week in Birmingham—a statistic …”

“Keyaan, you may not be able to answer this. I know that you do not know how many hours the family gets, but what sort of support do you get at home from the external services that come in?”

“This question is more for Jayne, so I hope that you guys do not mind. Following on from yesterday’s announcements and the reforms coming through to PIP payments, what do you understand it to mean? How are you feeling at the moment, as a mum who is looking after a young person with additional needs? How do you feel abou…”

“Caroline, you have highlighted one thing that you have seen in Japan about people making more of a contribution. What about you, Tom? I always say two because that is my favourite number, but you could give me one.”

“As experts on elderly and care needs, what are the two things you would like to see? Do you have a vision for the future or something you would like to see in our report? What would you like to happen around social care and inaction? What could we do next?”

“I do, but we are on film and I want the answer from the experts.”

“Good morning to you both. I am going to go back to the title of today’s session: social care reform and the cost of inaction. Like Josh, I led social care in Birmingham, which is ethnically very diverse as a community. In Birmingham, we found that people from large numbers of our ethnic minority groups, including parts…”

“Also, why did you start going?”

“Should local authorities be offering more support than they are?”

“Holly, would you like to say anything regarding what is going on with the reforms at the moment, especially around PIP?”

“My last question is to Keyaan and Holly. Although you offer a lot of support to your family, where do you get your support from? Where are your support mechanisms?”

“Thank you all for coming today. My first question is for Holly and Keyaan. Jayne mentioned that her daughter receives 14 hours of local authority care each week. Holly, do you know how much local authority care your sister receives each week?”

“Keyaan, both your mum and a sibling live with additional needs. Do they receive any local authority support?”

“My next question follows on quite easily. I was a cabinet member for adult social care for seven years. How difficult was it, Jayne, to receive the care that you have received? If you want to access additional care because you want to go away or do anything, how difficult or easy is it?”

“What care does your daughter receive? What does she actually get?”

“Holly, what about you?”

“I thank my hon. Friend the Member for Edinburgh South West (Dr Arthur) for bringing forward this important Bill and for his tireless work in championing the need for a greater focus on research into rarer cancers. Having worked as a district nurse for over 25 years, I have seen time and again the devastation cancer bri…”

“The B23 postcode in my constituency has experienced a troubling surge in knife-related offences. The west midlands violence reduction unit has been instrumental in addressing the issue, engaging with over 8,000 young people and contributing to a 18% reduction in youth violence involving knives between April and Septemb…”
