Speeches by Murray.

“I know my lane, Josh. I am not the Chief Secretary right now, so I am not going to be tempted on that one.”

“I would not dismiss the benefit of having mayors or their representatives on ICBs.”

“Pay across social care is something that is really important for the Government to address, and I think the fair pay agreement has been a critical step forward in that regard.”

“I think that is the right question to be asking—”

“I am always happy to hear your suggestions.”

“As I said earlier in my comments, when it comes to obesity, prevention is the part we need to focus on more—”

“There are different issues in other parts of the country, but that is my point—we need specific guidance for specific areas. What we do in London has to respond to the specific situation in London and what we do in other parts of the country would respond to their situation.”

“I think having £500 million extra in 2028-29 alongside the £4.6 billion extra more broadly that we are putting in is significant. It is not simply fixing the envelope that we inherited and working within that; it is an expanded envelope, too.”

“There is extra funding—£500 million—behind that.”

“I think it is worth my jumping in there. There is a review process under way. I appreciate you are pushing Jim and me for answers on this. There is a review of a commercial arrangement under way and that does limit what we can say.”

“I cannot give you a date today.”

“That is interesting phrasing, Josh. Thank you for the question. We all know that the provision of social care—particularly adult social care—has not been addressed by many politicians over many years. The Casey commission is at the moment trying to get cross-party consensus on a way forward for the long term—a long-ter…”

“No. There is a requirement about having a mayoral representative where mayoral strategic authorities overlap with the areas that ICBs cover, but there is flexibility in what individual ICBs can do.”

“I think it is definitely an issue—”

“I definitely agree that it is right that we think about the right staffing levels in different parts of the service, in terms of staffing numbers, the training that those members of staff have, and who you have in different parts of the system. I will not repeat myself, but AI is effectively separate. It can benefit al…”

“That protection is important. There are also benefits to having HSSIB in the CQC, and them working closer together with that protection in place. I appreciate that some people have different views on it, but there is a strong argument behind what we are doing.”

“My hon. Friend is absolutely right. I again put on record my thanks to her for supporting families in their fight for justice and accountability. She is absolutely right to say that families have driven this work. It is families who have had the determination, persistence and stamina. It is quite hard to imagine people…”

“The hon. Lady is absolutely right to draw further attention to the issue of women being ignored in health services generally, but specifically when it comes to maternity services. That goes back to the culture in maternity services. It is a devastating conclusion to come to, but we see a culture there of misogyny, of w…”

“My hon. Friend asks about the timing, and the process for establishing a commissioner. As a first step, in the next two weeks, I will meet members of the taskforce to agree the scope, and a detailed role for the commissioner, because I want that scope and role to be agreed with them, given that they will be developing …”

“With permission, Madam Deputy Speaker, I shall make a statement on the national maternity and neonatal investigation. Less than a week ago, I stood at this Dispatch Box to respond to the report by Donna Ockenden that exposed devastating failings over more than a decade in Nottingham. As many right hon. and hon.
