Speeches by Hamilton.

“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?”

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

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

“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?”

“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?”

“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?”

“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.”

“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…”

“1. What assessment he has made of the effectiveness of the emergency alert system.”

“A secret phone can be a lifeline for survivors of domestic abuse. Can the Minister tell the House what steps the Government are taking to ensure that when emergency alerts are sent, survivors of domestic abuse are not put in any additional danger?”

“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…”

“I thank my hon. Friend for giving way and for securing this debate. As we mark International Women’s Day, I have to say that I am proud—absolutely honoured— to stand here not only as a black woman, but as a former nurse. However, black people are four times more likely to be detained under the Mental Health Act 1983. D…”

“I was really interested in what you said. I want to go from what Ben was saying back to your role at NHSE. With all the changes that are going on at NHSE and you going in as the chair, do you feel that NHSE is agile enough? What would be the two things you would do as the new chair to encourage the new chief exec to ma…”

“Thank you.”

“I am not asking about work that has been done. My specific question is that you are going in as chair. I have read all about you. I have read that you are, on paper, a very dynamic person. I would like to see a more agile NHSE. What are the two things that you would like to see to make that organisation more agile? Com…”

“Yes, absolutely.”

“Thank you, Penny.”

“Moving on, Penny, in your CV—that is what I am going by—you have a small number of digital healthcare start-ups for which you do advisory work, and you mention two venture capital organisations. You have said that you will give some of those up, but I would like to ask whether you think it is appropriate to continue to…”
