Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Stephen Kinnock and Christine Jardine

Tuesday 25th March 2025 Commons Chamber

[Stephen Kinnock]

My hon. Friend is absolutely right that shifting care from hospitals to the community is at the heart of our 10-year plan. I would be happy to meet the doctors leading this pilot to find out more about the excellent work that she describes.

[Christine Jardine (Edinburgh West) (LD)]

Will the Secretary of State meet me to discuss how we can make access to such treatments more affordable, accessible and safe, so that we can help more people?
