Written Answers
Hate Crime: Rural Areas
Asked by: Ben Maguire (Liberal Democrat - North Cornwall)
Monday 2nd June 2025

Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what steps she is taking to help tackle hate crime in rural areas.

Answered by Diana Johnson - Minister of State (Home Office)

This Government is determined to tackle all forms of hate crime, wherever in the country it occurs, and whoever is responsible for committing it.

There is no excuse for violence or abuse driven by hatred and discrimination, and we support the police in taking strong action against those crimes.

We currently fund an online reporting portal to ensure victims do not have to visit a police station to report any hate crime they experience, and we also fund a National Hub which provides expert advice to police forces across the country on what they can do to tackle the increasing levels of online hate crime.

Postural Tachycardia Syndrome: Health Services
Asked by: Ben Maguire (Liberal Democrat - North Cornwall)
Thursday 5th June 2025

Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what steps his Department is taking to improve the (a) diagnosis, (b) treatment pathways and (c) levels of clinical awareness of Postural Tachycardia Syndrome in the NHS.

Answered by Ashley Dalton - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department of Health and Social Care)

It is the responsibility of local integrated care boards to work with clinicians, service users, and patient groups to develop services and care pathways that are convenient and that meet the needs of patients with postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (PoTS).

The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence has published a clinical knowledge summary on the clinical management of blackouts and syncope, that provides advice for clinicians in the United Kingdom on best practice in the assessment and diagnosis of PoTS. This was last updated in November 2023, and is available at the following link:

https://cks.nice.org.uk/topics/blackouts-syncope/diagnosis/assessment/

General practitioners (GPs) are asked to investigate symptoms to ensure that it is not misdiagnosed. Following referral, patients are treated within National Health Service cardiology and neurology services. Where more specialist advice is required, a referral will be made to an appropriate clinician.

To improve awareness of PoTS amongst healthcare professionals, and specifically GPs, the Royal College of General Practitioners provides training on PoTS as part of its Syncope toolkit, which is available at the following link:

https://elearning.rcgp.org.uk/course/view.php?id=500

Health Professions: Vacancies
Asked by: Ben Maguire (Liberal Democrat - North Cornwall)
Friday 6th June 2025

Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, how many (a) nurse and (b) doctor vacancies there are in the NHS.

Answered by Karin Smyth - Minister of State (Department of Health and Social Care)

NHS England publishes a compendium of NHS Vacancy Statistics each quarter. The information currently provides four measures of the level of vacancies in the National Health Service, one of which includes the number of medical and registered nursing vacancies reported by NHS trusts to NHS England, which is the most commonly used measure.

Detailed information on the definition of collected data and the available timeseries, along with the measure’s strengths and weaknesses, can be found at the following link:

https://digital.nhs.uk/data-and-information/publications/statistical/nhs-vacancies-survey

Data for the period to March 2025 was published on 29 May 2025.

Due to the complex nature of how NHS vacancy data is defined and collected, all data sources should be treated with a degree of caution.

Health Professions: Retirement
Asked by: Ben Maguire (Liberal Democrat - North Cornwall)
Friday 6th June 2025

Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, how many NHS (a) nurses and (b) doctors are expected to (i) leave and (ii) retire in the next year.

Answered by Karin Smyth - Minister of State (Department of Health and Social Care)

The Department does not hold estimates of the number of nurses and doctors expected to leave the National Health Service or retire in the next year.

The Government is committed to making the NHS the best place to work, to ensure we retain more of our skilled and dedicated staff. NHS England is leading work nationally through its retention programme to drive a consistent, system-wide approach to staff retention across NHS trusts. This ensures trusts have access to proven retention strategies, data-driven monitoring, and can foster a more stable, engaged, productive, and supported workforce.

Housing: Rural Areas
Asked by: Ben Maguire (Liberal Democrat - North Cornwall)
Monday 9th June 2025

Question to the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government:

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, if her Department will make an assessment of the potential impact of low housing stock on young families in (a) North Cornwall and (b) other rural areas.

Answered by Matthew Pennycook - Minister of State (Housing, Communities and Local Government)

The government recognises the impact of low housing stock on young families in North Cornwall and other rural areas.

We are taking decisive action to boost the supply of homes of all tenures and are giving further consideration to what more we can do to promote rural affordable housing and support local authorities to respond to the pressures caused by excessive concentrations of short-term lets and second homes.

Select Committee Inquiry
12 Jun 2025
Harnessing the potential of new digital forms of identification
Home Affairs Committee (Select)

Submit Evidence (by 21 Aug 2025)


Digital ID can refer to many different aspects of a person’s identity which can be recorded and stored digitally, including names and demographic information, digital versions of government-issued documents such as visas, or even biometric information like a fingerprint or face scan.

In an increasingly digital world, several countries have begun to develop digital ID systems to support functions like identification, proof of residence and facilitating access to government services.

There have been calls for the UK to adopt digital ID, with those arguing for its introduction saying it would have benefits like improving citizens’ access to services and supporting more effective enforcement of immigration rules.

The Government has already taken steps to introduce some digital forms of ID. For example, the Home Office has introduced eVisas, while the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology is leading the introduction of digital driver’s licences.

This inquiry will examine what benefits the introduction of new digital forms of ID could bring for reducing crime and managing migration. It will explore concerns about privacy and security as well as the practical challenges to realising the potential benefits of digital ID.
