Speeches by Stafford.

“Thank you. You have expressed that you are doing about 80% of the market already, but do you feel you have the capacity to scale up to meet the potential demand if we were to move to the model that you are describing?”

“If no one else has anything to add to that, I am going to jump a question I had, because you have touched on it, Dr Doyle. In our evidence gathering, we have heard some very strong calls for the weight management services and treatments like GLP-1s to be nationally commissioned. Is that something you support, and what …”

“That is very helpful. This is slightly on a tangent, but in your opinion is the Obesity Pathway Innovation Programme ambitious enough to meet the current demand for GLP-1s?”

“Do you have a model in your mind of how that service would be designed in terms of the way you operate?”

“You would agree with that?”

“Okay, thank you very much. Have you done any modelling to understand how many more NHS patients digital providers could support, or are you suggesting, Dr Seyan, that you have an almost infinite capacity to deal with as many people as possible, given the model you are describing?”

“How could the funding work and how could that be improved for a nationally commissioned service?”

“What I am trying to do is get a practical idea of numbers. Have any of you done any modelling to say, “We could treat X number more patients if we did this,” just so the Committee can get some idea of the numbers we are talking about here?”

“Fair enough. Moving very specifically to you, Ms Nevinson, could you tell me about the decision to pilot an in-store service? What was your thinking behind that, as a company?”

“You only started this in February, but what is your anticipation of demand? In the short time that you have had, is demand meeting that expectation or is it below or above the expectation you had?”

“It is always a pleasure to follow the hon. Member for Alloa and Grangemouth (Brian Leishman); it is like a greatest hits of the 1970s. At a time when the war in Ukraine continues and instability spreads across the middle east, energy is not simply an economic question but a matter of national security. Yet under this L…”

“If I were being generous, I would say merely that the hon. Member has not listened to my speech or read the motion in front of us. I have not mentioned anywhere that we will be cutting back on renewable energy. If Labour’s position is misguided, the Liberal Democrats’ position is outright reckless. They would pile furt…”

“I understand that the figure is £25 billion, which is a significant injection into the Treasury however we look at it. The simple truth is this: if we increase domestic supply, we can ease pressure on prices, reduce reliance on expensive imported LNG and cut costs. That is not ideology—it is basic economics. The idea t…”

“T7. Given the ongoing national security concerns, including the risk of foreign interference in elections, will the Home Secretary set out what her Department is doing to ensure that individuals convicted of terrorism offences are prevented from standing for elected office in the UK?”

“Will the Minister give way?”

“It is a pleasure to serve under your chairmanship, Mr Mundell. My constituents have a clear expectation that we proceed with caution when it comes to children’s healthcare, but there is a fundamental contradiction at the heart of this trial: the Government have already restricted these drugs due to what they described …”

“Unlike the hon. Gentleman, I am very convinced of the need for a social media ban. That is why I welcome the Leader of the Opposition’s stance on that. On his point about communities, schools and parents, if we do not go for a full ban, there are some technologies that could be used. I think of Jason in my constituency…”

“I support a number of the things that the hon. Lady is saying about the dangers of online harms, especially for children, but I am unclear about her position on a social media ban for those under 16. Although I accept her overall point, which is that social media companies have a responsibility, we could send them a re…”

“What specific commitments would you like to see in the 10-year workforce plan to enable us to successfully deliver the new White Paper proposals?”

“That is helpful. Would the RCSLT agree?”
