Health and Social Care Update

Debate between Kate Green and Thérèse Coffey

Thursday 22nd September 2022 Commons Chamber

[Dr Coffey]

It is great to see my hon. Friend; our constituencies cross the River Deben. I will look into that matter for him and respond to him.

[Kate Green (Stretford and Urmston) (Lab)]

The Secretary of State spoke about the importance of prevention and the impact of the cost of living crisis on health and wellbeing. Will she therefore work with colleagues across government, including those from the Department for Work and Pensions and from local authorities, to maximise the take-up of the Healthy Start scheme, which can address both maternal and child health and wellbeing, and help families with living costs?

[Dr Coffey]

Of course we will.
