Breast Cancer Screening: Women Over 70
My Lord, I agree with the sentiments that have been expressed by the Minister. However, she will be aware that there are significant regional variations in the uptake of breast screening among those who live in poorer disadvantaged communities and among

Midwives: Graduate Guarantee
My Lords, I welcome the comments made by the Minister. However, she will be aware that, as well as having a shortage of midwives in place—and we have seen the terrible effects of poor service delivery in antenatal and postnatal care—we have a significant

Migraine Care: 10-year Health Plan
My Lords, as has already been mentioned, over 10 million people in the UK suffer from migraine, and it is highly prevalent in women. It is also linked to anxiety and depression. I welcome what the Government are doing in extending women’s health hubs and

GP Contract
I welcome some of the criteria that are going to be used, particularly for deprived communities, in relation to access, but there remains a postcode lottery in terms of access to GPs, particularly in deprived communities. My concern is that, with some of

Better Start Longitudinal Programmes
My Lords, I am sorry if I sound like a broken record, but what are the Government doing to ensure that we retain the health visitors and midwives that we have? There are not sufficient midwives or health visitors in the service and they play a vital role

Under-16s Energy Drinks Ban

Baby Milk Powder: Cereulide
My Lords, of course the best food for babies comes from breastfeeding. May I advocate that we should not lose sight of the fact that many mothers do breastfeed? But I understand the anguish and fear that mothers who cannot breastfeed have had in relation

NHS: Corridor Care
My Lords, in a recent survey 78% of physicians reported undertaking corridor care. It is becoming almost the norm all the year round. It affects patients’ dignity, health and safety, and patient outcomes, because there are greater infection rates. I welc

Maternal Mortality
My Lords, many NHS trusts are facing deficits in midwives. There is not a sufficient workforce. What are the Government doing to tackle this issue? New parents, and new mothers during their birth, are not being supported, and there are significant probl

Early Years Education
My Lords, I come back to screen time. There is significant evidence now that, for young children, particularly under the age of five, spending a lot of time on screens actually changes the neural pathways in their brains. We understand that gap and so th
