Health and Social Care (including Topical Questions)
MPs question a government minister
MPs will question the Health and Social Care Secretary on current policy and operational issues facing the NHS and adult social care system. Topical questions allow backbenchers to raise urgent, time-sensitive matters without advance notice, covering issues from waiting times and staffing to social care funding and specific hospital or service failures. This session tests the government's grip on health service challenges and accountability.
Health and social care are among the public's top concerns and affect every constituency. These questions expose pressures across the NHS—A&E delays, cancer treatment backlogs, mental health provision, and the social care crisis—and hold ministers accountable for delivery on Labour's manifesto commitments to fix the health service.
