Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Sarah Olney and Karin Smyth

Tuesday 25th November 2025 Commons Chamber

[The Minister for Secondary Care (Karin Smyth)]

I thank the hon. Lady for that question and for her work on this issue. She makes a really important point about consistency of care. We understand that services are different in different parts of the country—sometimes the needs are different—but we want to ensure that, where there is good practice and proven evidence, care is rolled out. As we say, bring the best of the NHS to the rest of the NHS. I am sure that the Under-Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, my hon. Friend the Member for West Lancashire (Ashley Dalton), will take note of that point.

[Sarah Olney (Richmond Park) (LD)]
