Speeches by McIntyre.

“I welcome my hon. Friend’s statement about the record funding going into our NHS. We are already seeing the benefit in my constituency, with millions of pounds going into investment in our hospital; that is so desperately needed to get waiting lists down. People were left behind by the Conservative party, and I note th…”

“That leads nicely to my final question. I hear you loud and clear on longer-term funding. That seems pretty unanimous, from all of you. There is also the point that you made, Christine: if you have different sources of funding, how does that relate to the kind of conflicts and challenges you face with data sharing and …”

“Thank you for all your answers so far, which have been really enlightening. Moving on to some questions about funding—everyone’s favourite topic at the moment, particularly with the spending review coming out next week—different funding models are being used to support family hubs: some are Government-funded and others…”

“Thank you. Christine?”

“That leads nicely to my next question. Rachel, what impact has central Government funding had on how you have designed and delivered family hubs in Hull?”

“I thank the Minister for his response. It is so important that we break the cycle of reoffending, particularly for young offenders. In Gloucester, we are really lucky to have amazing organisations working with young offenders, including Young Gloucestershire and the Nelson Trust, which offers holistic trauma-informed s…”

“5. What steps her Department is taking to help reduce reoffending by young offenders.”

“Will the hon. Gentleman welcome the Government’s partnership with Colgate on tooth- brushing in schools so that we can tackle prevention with children and make sure they are not going into hospital with tooth decay because they are learning how to brush their teeth and doing so properly?”

“I thank my hon. Friend the Member for Great Grimsby and Cleethorpes (Melanie Onn) for securing this important debate. I also thank the dentists, hygienists, dental nurses and practice staff in my constituency who do so much to look after my constituents. The reality is that the dentistry system we inherited from the pr…”

“Will the hon. Lady give way on that point?”

“May I also pay tribute to my hon. Friend the Member for Knowsley (Anneliese Midgley) and to Olivia’s family for their powerful campaign? The Bill seeks to challenge the power imbalance that has long existed in our justice system between perpetrators and their victims—for too long, offenders have had the upper hand. I a…”

“Is that all under the banner of systemic racism?”

“My next question is on continuity of care. We touched upon it in the first session. From my own experience of it, we were really lucky. Our community midwife was the same throughout and she ended up being on call on the day of delivery, so she was actually delivering midwife. Having spoken to a lot of people and parent…”

“On that data point, in 2022 NHS England took out the target date for that continuity of care piece because of the staffing levels and the ability within the system to actually provide it. Is that impacting our ability to understand the impact that is having and the data we are able to collect around continuity of care?”

“Picking up on the point that Marian made, do you think there is perhaps not enough focus on the role that doulas and others can play in providing continuity of care?”

“Thank you ever so much for your answers so far. I just wanted to come back to something that you said in your initial remarks about feeling like you were almost held captive in the hospital until you had an intervention. You were not able to leave and you felt pressured into making a decision. I have an 18-month-old an…”

“I was completely ignorant about this two years ago, if I am perfectly honest. One of the things that I learned is that you can do nothing. When people are offering you an intervention, you assume that you have to take whatever is being offered, but the option is available to say, “What happens if we do nothing right no…”

“To follow up on that before I go to the questions I am meant to be asking, we heard last week in a separate evidence session about family hubs and the importance of having more of the antenatal checks in those family hubs. That pilot in Bristol sounds really interesting. Do you think that model could work in a family h…”

“Shanthi, we talked briefly about the report, I am sure lots of your answers already have drawn from that 2022 report. In a minute—I know this is really difficult to do—could you summarise the key findings of that report?”

“That report was in 2022. Has there been any progress in addressing those issues since that report?”
