| 25 Feb 2025 | Groceries Code Adjudicator “The Groceries Code Adjudicator was established by my party, the Liberal Democrats, during that sad time in Government. It was an extremely important achievement designed to protect the interests of farmers and food producers. Some hon. Members will know of my background as a director of the National Farmers Union, and …” agricultureeconomy-jobscost-of-living | 108 |
| 13 Feb 2025 | Public Accounts Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 648) “All the more reason to have noted what the Health Committee and the BDA said a year ago.” | 18 |
| 13 Feb 2025 | Public Accounts Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 648) “I had a situation in my constituency, in Dulverton, where the only person who provided NHS care was a trainee. I do not think that that is fair. I do not think it is fair on my constituents and I do not think it is fair on that trainee.” | 49 |
| 13 Feb 2025 | Public Accounts Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 648) “Can I give you a hint? Minehead, in my constituency, is 324th out of 324 on the social mobility scale. It is deprived. It also has the lowest amount of dentists in the country. Please will you take that statistic away and try to do something about it? If it means talking to the Somerset ICB, that would be great, so I d…” | 72 |
| 13 Feb 2025 | Public Accounts Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 648) “And costs the NHS a lot of money. We all know—we see it time and again on this Committee, but it does not seem to be getting through—that prevention is cheaper than cure. The answer that you have just given is “These are all the things we can do: fluoridation and this and that.” The bottom line is that children need to…” | 67 |
| 13 Feb 2025 | Public Accounts Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 648) “I am having to write two, three or four times to my local ICB, chasing NHS dental contracts that dentists who come to my surgery say that they have been offered but cannot get. It is a disgrace.” | 38 |
| 13 Feb 2025 | Public Accounts Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 648) “So you are talking about retention.” | 6 |
| 13 Feb 2025 | Public Accounts Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 648) “When I use the term “workforce”, I am not talking just about dentists. I am talking about having the ability to start as a dental nurse, maybe, and having the confidence and ability to grow in your professional role.” | 39 |
| 13 Feb 2025 | Public Accounts Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 648) “I am astounded. I have people in my constituency who live in acute pain for months, and sometimes years. When you are doing your work as a senior civil servant, do you bear those people in mind?” | 37 |
| 13 Feb 2025 | Public Accounts Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 648) “Brilliant.” | 1 |
| 13 Feb 2025 | Public Accounts Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 648) “Could I have a meeting with you about Minehead, please?” | 10 |
| 13 Feb 2025 | Public Accounts Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 648) “We still have the same problem.” | 6 |
| 13 Feb 2025 | Public Accounts Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 648) “It was not an aspiration; it was part of the plan.” | 11 |
| 13 Feb 2025 | Public Accounts Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 648) “Yes—or to whoever is.” | 4 |
| 13 Feb 2025 | Public Accounts Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 648) “You mentioned the workforce, which is what I would like to question you about. I am presuming that you have new data on the dental workforce that informs the decisions or initiatives that you make. How is that informing any future initiatives on workforce support and development? What sort of support and development ha…” | 63 |
| 13 Feb 2025 | Public Accounts Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 648) “It is a shocking regional disparity, but it is also shocking that my constituency, the most deprived in the country, has the lowest number of dentists. It is not just the regional disparity; it is the social-economic disparity. I am trying not to explode.” | 44 |
| 13 Feb 2025 | Public Accounts Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 648) “Talk to the dentists and the people on the ground. You cannot do this without—” | 15 |
| 13 Feb 2025 | Public Accounts Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 648) “Let me quote your own words back to you, Mr Sparke. I can’t believe I have to repeat this. You said: “patients it is not attractive to treat on the NHS”. What a shocking statement!” | 35 |
| 13 Feb 2025 | Public Accounts Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 648) “When it does not lose them money.” | 7 |
| 13 Feb 2025 | Public Accounts Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 648) “But in an article in The Guardian today, the headline is that dentists are “walking away” from the NHS because it loses them money to work as a dentist in the NHS. You can talk about modelling and this and that, but the basic facts are that dentists, with all the good will in the world, cannot afford to stay within the…” | 75 |
