Speeches by Brackenridge.

“Q I feel that my question may have just been answered, but you may wish to add something, Dr Benneyworth. Will patient safety accountability be improved when a patient’s care spans different organisations within an ICB? Dr Benneyworth: One of the things that we see regularly in our investigations is that people fall do…”

“Q On that point, Dr Dash, what would you say to concerns that have been raised with me by Healthwatch Wolverhampton that patients and service users will be reluctant to raise concerns from within the system? How will your recommendations help with that? Dr Dash: I think that we do need to recognise that. I hear that as…”

“Q My question is to Dr Dickson and is about education and training policy, responsibility for which will be transferred from NHS England to the Secretary of State. I know that you have a lot of interest in medical training and education, so what do you feel would be the impact? Dr Dickson: I think the impact could be r…”

“Q I would like clarity on a few views that we have heard, not just in this session but in previous ones. There is one mindset that says that by bringing patient voice into ICBs, they are going to be marking their own homework. Equally, I think about places like Wolverhampton, where we have such baked-in inequalities an…”

“Q Constituents have raised issues with me about when elderly patients or patients with dementia, in particular, come to discharge and the transfer of care, because of the lack of effective data and information sharing. To what extent do the provisions in the Bill on the single patient record allow data to be shared wit…”

“Huge thanks must go to the Secretary of State and all involved. This is the right decision, consulted on in the right way. Tech companies have had more than enough time, but have chosen to engineer for addiction and profit. Will she work across Government to ensure that parents and schools have the support that they ne…”

“Tech giants have had the digital level controls capability to stop children taking, sharing or viewing naked images on their devices, but have failed to do so. I have very little confidence that they will suddenly have an epiphany and do the right thing without the necessary pressure, enforcement and consequences. How …”

“T8. Following investment in police operations targeting predatory behaviour in Wolverhampton’s night-time economy, including the deployment of specially trained undercover officers, alongside the welcome support given by the Late Night Safe Haven and Night Guardians, what further action will the Government take to stre…”

“Charis and Josephine, do you have anything you wish to add? Charis Chittick indicated dissent. Josephine Whitaker-Yilmaz indicated dissent.”

“My question will be to Lynn, but other panel members should add anything that they wish to share. Lynn, could you outline your experience of how child poverty increases the risk of children and young people coming into contact with the criminal justice system?”

“My question is to Tom. Football can play an important part in supporting the community, through trusted stigma-free environments; I have seen that first hand with the brilliant work by the Wolves Foundation. I have heard about the power of the badge. Can you elaborate on what that means and share examples of good pract…”

“Finally from me, will you confirm that the year 8 reading test will not be used as an accountability measure?”

“We are almost halfway through the National Year of Reading. What has been its impact so far, and what metrics have you used to measure its impact?”

“Why year 8? There have been calls for year 7, so it must have been driven by evidence.”

“Will any additional guidance be given to schools on the next steps? Identifying an issue is incredibly important—I know that lots of schools are already doing that, which is great practice—but will there be guidance on what comes next and how to support weak readers?”

“It is a pleasure to serve under your chairship, Ms Jardine. I am grateful to the hon. Member for Tiverton and Minehead (Rachel Gilmour) for securing this important debate on the future of community pharmacies. I want to take a moment to acknowledge the importance of community pharmacies across the country, especially i…”

“I will move on to the new year 8 reading tests. I would like to hear your response to concerns from staff who work in schools who say that this would be an additional strain and burden and that it would have the unintended consequence of taking schools away from the direction of resources to build reading for pleasure.”

“Teachers are not raising concerns about being instructed, in terms of pedagogy and how to teach. That is not their concern; their concern is about the volume and how busy the curriculum is, which means that they do not have the capacity, never mind the resources. It is similar lower down, at key stage 3 and in primary …”

“I agree. The absence of a community pharmacy leaves a vacuum on the high street that is felt by residents. I am sure that Members across this Chamber will appreciate that factor as well. Some 1.6 million people walk through a pharmacy door in England every day; they are embedded in our communities. That is why I welcom…”

“I extend my sincere gratitude and congratulations; 75 years working in a pharmacy is incredible. At the other end of the scale from Sadie, my very first Saturday job was in pharmacies in Wednesfield and Willenhall in my constituency. I also extend my thanks to the pharmacies, dispensers, frontline shop staff and delive…”
