Speeches by McIntyre.

“I welcome the report and my hon. Friend’s commitment to cross-departmental working, but I want to raise one area that his Department could put its weight behind. The Health and Social Care Committee has suggested an amendment to the Health Bill that would put the mental health investment standard into statute, so that …”

“The River Severn holds incredible potential for tidal energy, with the Severn Estuary Commission finding that it has the potential to generate up to 7% of the UK’s electricity. Will my right hon. Friend meet me to discuss how the Government plan to take that forward, and how we can ensure that some of the resulting goo…”

“Since the general election, there are 10,000 fewer people stuck on NHS waiting lists in my constituency of Gloucester, we have the green light for two new NHS dental practices, and a new GP surgery is being built in Hucclecote. But now is not the time to pat ourselves on the back and say, “Job well done.” It is not eve…”

“May I associate myself with the remarks of the Secretary of State about Romania? Last week I visited Romania through the armed forces parliamentary scheme, and met armed forces personnel who are part of the NATO air policing mission. The Russian drone incident showed how important that mission is, and demonstrated the …”

“11. What steps he is taking to ensure that defence procurement supports SMEs.”

“Colette, what are some of the challenges that people with diabetes face when taking part in the programme, and how are they supported through that?”

“Thank you. It is testament to the programme. Professor Taylor, could you briefly describe the path to remission programme and the evidence of its effectiveness?”

“Or in some cases they have just been elected to Parliament and do not know whether they are going to be in Westminster or their constituency.”

“I should say thank you to the panel for the work you have done on this issue. This first session is quite close to my heart, because last year I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, and I then went on the path to remission programme. I lost around about 7 stone initially, and put my diabetes into remission.”

“T2. Last Friday I met a constituent whose child was fatally stabbed five years ago. As a parent myself, I cannot begin to imagine what the family have gone through and the trauma they have faced since. Concerningly, the killer of that child has repeatedly accessed social media while in prison to cruelly taunt the victi…”

“What is the rough cost of a person going through the remission programme?”

“So it is a very cost-effective way of tackling this.”

“So I guess that from £1,000 per person investing in their health now, the savings for the NHS in the long term are significantly greater.”

“Do we know what a month costs on your GLP-1 inhibitor of choice?”

“To come on to the experience, it is great to hear that you have been working directly with people. As I would expect, you do a very good job of it. We have heard evidence that people are much more positive about this programme than, say, GLP-1s or bariatric surgery. Why do you think that is? What lessons could we learn…”

“We have not touched on exercise yet, but it is obviously part of the behavioural support changes that they try to encourage during the programme. It is quite difficult to take on. I appreciate that diet and food are the main focus, but in terms of that behavioural support and making those positive changes going forward…”

“On that point, I was offered the choice between digital and in person, and I chose digital for that reason. How many people is that not being offered to?”
