Speeches by Craft.

“They have to take a wider approach to commissioning. So you are looking at bringing in the voluntary and community sector, and potentially even other Government Departments.”

“Health is not entirely up to the NHS to solve on its own, but how can ICBs—integrated care boards—create successful cross-sector partnerships with the voluntary and community sector to deliver these positive ageing communities?”

“And I will ask you about an even more difficult political area. You said the Prime Minister has a bunch of competing priorities. He supposedly has five overarching missions in order to deliver a mission-led Government, and there are a lot of priorities on departmental budgets and how they are spent, particularly as the…”

“Good morning. I would like to look a bit deeper at the declining use of condoms, particularly among young people. I note that over the eight-year period when spending on contraception fell, spending on prevention, advice and promotion also fell by about £20 million. Do you think that the lack of spend on prevention is …”

“Those are the two main drivers.”

“It’s about beginning a conversation and then—”

“Part of it is about having things readily available and part of it is about behaviour change. Are there examples of anyone having been able to address those different behaviours and make a real difference? Are there things in place?”

“What are the effective strategies to encourage condom use? Spend is obviously one of them.”

“Are the conversations that young people are having driven by social media?”

“What is the stigma? What is the reticence?”

“I strongly welcome this strategy today, particularly the commitment that the Prime Minister and the Secretary of State have made to guarantee all 16-year-olds a college place. However, will she commit to working towards closing the legislative gap, where children between the ages of five and 16 with SEND can access hom…”

“I very much welcome the report and the leadership that my hon. Friend the Member for Birmingham Erdington (Paulette Hamilton) has shown throughout its production. I have the honour of serving on the Health and Social Care Committee, and this is one of the standout pieces of work that we carried out while she was interi…”

“Thameside theatre in Grays is the only public purpose-built theatre in Thurrock. It is a vital cultural asset and has provided the first experience of the performing arts for a number of people, including myself, who trod the boards there for five years as a member of Thurrock’s local scout and guide gang show. My coll…”

“Is that having more people achieve their nutritional intake, or is it within the group that you are working with that you are seeing the uptick? Does it have the potential to do both?”

“That was going to be my next question: what evidence do you have of the impact that the changes that you suggest would have, either in the short term or a little further ahead?”

“What economies of scale would you see? How many people do you think would need to go through the door of supermarkets before they started to see value in supporting and promoting the scheme?”

“That rather helpfully leads me to my next question—to anyone watching who saw Alex’s questions, we have not set this up! You said that there are some barriers that stop those who are eligible from accessing the Healthy Start scheme and that auto-enrolment might be one way around that. What else stops people accessing i…”

“Thank you. Anna?”

“The evidence submitted by both your organisations suggests that you would like to see some changes to the Healthy Start scheme. Can you talk us through what you would like to see?”

“I will not, because I am aware that I am almost out of time. My new clause would ensure that the Government have to set out, within six months of this Bill receiving Royal Assent, a road map that engages in a co-productive way with people with learning disabilities or autism, their advocates and organisations that cham…”
