Speeches by Olney.

“I understand that, and that is why I am parking, if you like, the issues around the backlog, which have been fully explored and explained. Nevertheless, there is this point about productivity gains; I think you had already rolled back on what you were going to deliver.”

“Under the original agreement, Capita was going to have a lower headcount than MyCSP, because of the productivity gains that you expected to implement. Alongside this backlog, which, as we have just been hearing, you did not expect and is obviously causing you trouble to work through, you have also rode back on the IT s…”

“Does the Minister agree that effective regulation is not about putting burdens on business, but about ensuring a level playing field, so that ethical businesses and those that have committed to the welfare of their employees and to sourcing good quality materials have a level playing field to sell their products and ar…”

“The hon. Gentleman is absolutely right. We need to take much firmer action to ensure that no products traded in the supply chain in this country—or, as he says, stocks listed on the stock market—are produced through any kind of forced labour. The use of forced labour is an affront to human rights; but also, and more pr…”

“It is a pleasure to see you in the Chair, Ms Jardine—there is nobody better to chair a debate on fashion, if I may say so. I thank the hon. Member for Hornsey and Friern Barnet (Catherine West) for her excellent opening speech and all the wonderful points she made. I want to get slightly competitive for a moment: I adm…”

“The Minister’s sedentary intervention gives me a good opportunity to say that the hand knitting industry supports many jobs in many rural areas, right across the country, including Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales. However, I have spoken to the people who own Knit With Me, the amazing knitting shop on Richmond Hill…”

“Last week the Government updated their carbon values to reflect their latest net zero emission target, but the UK emissions trading scheme does not take into account the updated figures. In 2021, it was predicted that carbon abatement for a third runway at Heathrow would cost £100 million, and costs will have only rise…”

“5. If he will update the UK emissions trading scheme to reflect the carbon abatement costs of major projects.”

“Coming back to the question of care homes, the Report tells us that the number of care home residents with a personalised care plan has fallen from 76% in 2022-23 to only 44%. The Report notes that the fall occurred when specific payments ceased for these activities, so it might be that they were recorded to get the pa…”

“If, for whatever reason, the data is no longer showing that enough people have care plans, what assurance do you have that GPs are delivering that part of their contract and that care homes and their residents are getting the support they need?”

“Sorry to interrupt you. The model is showing you that it is going to be more economically efficient, but once they are up and running, how will you measure that it is delivering economic efficiencies?”

“I can understand how this approach will obviously reduce infections and hopefully reduce hospital stays. Will you have a mechanism in place to capture whether there are unexpected downsides to this approach, Sir Jim?”

“What measures are you going to use to assess whether the Hospital 2.0 approach is delivering economic efficiencies for NHS trusts?”

“In Hospital 2.0 it is not so much that the single-patient room model is better for staff, but that elsewhere in Hospital 2.0 there are more spaces for staff and that will boost their wellbeing?”

“So the shorter stays and reduced infections are part of that £7.5 billion?”

“What have been the findings on workforce wellbeing with that single-room model?”

“That is for anyone with frailty. You are not specifically looking at people in care homes at the moment. GPs have the responsibility, and that has not changed, even if the incentive to record that specific care plan has. By definition, if someone is in a care home, they must be frail or at risk of frailty. Could GPs no…”

“Are you saying that you have stopped the incentive to measure it, but you will be bringing it back again?”

“Mr Mustow, you were talking about Hospital 2.0 to my colleague Anna Dixon. When they start to be implemented and used by patients, what metrics will you use to measure whether they are delivering improved patient care and workforce wellbeing?”

“I congratulate the hon. Member for Shipley (Anna Dixon) on securing this important debate and sharing her own family’s story. I dedicate my speech to a close and dear friend, a councillor in Richmond upon Thames, who lost her adult son in a road traffic collision on the A31 in Hampshire just before the new year. I am t…”
