Transport: Scottish Islands Asked by: Andrew George (Liberal Democrat - St Ives) Wednesday 26th November 2025 Question to the Scotland Office: To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland, what discussions he has had with the Scottish Government on support for transport services for Scottish islands. Answered by Douglas Alexander - Secretary of State for Scotland It is vital that Scotland’s island communities continue to thrive. Reliable, affordable transport connections are a critical part of that. The Scottish Government has failed to deliver that, and island communities, rightly, are demanding a credible plan for sustained improvements. The Scottish Government has received a record devolution settlement, and has the powers and resources to address this issue. Our island communities deserve better.
Cash Dispensing Asked by: Andrew George (Liberal Democrat - St Ives) Monday 24th November 2025 Question to the HM Treasury: To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what progress she has made on implementing the provisions in Schedule 8 of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2023 on access to cash; and what discussions she has had with the Financial Conduct Authority on the effectiveness of its powers to enforce those provisions. Answered by Lucy Rigby - Economic Secretary (HM Treasury) The Government recognises that cash continues to be used by millions of people across the UK, including those in vulnerable groups, and is committed to protecting access to cash for individuals and businesses. The Financial Services and Markets Act 2023 granted the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) the responsibility and powers to seek to ensure the reasonable provision of cash withdrawal and deposit facilities. The FCA introduced regulatory rules to protect access to cash in September 2024. Its rules ensure cash continues to be a viable method of payment for the millions of people who depend on it by providing reasonable access to cash withdrawal and deposit facilities for individuals and businesses, including free services for personal accounts. The FCA is required by law to keep its rules under review and has been closely monitoring the impact and effectiveness of their regime during its first year. It will commence a formal evaluation of its regime in due course. The Government meets regularly with the FCA to discuss a range of topics.
NHS England Asked by: Andrew George (Liberal Democrat - St Ives) Monday 1st December 2025 Question to the Department of Health and Social Care: To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, if he will publish a formal impact assessment on the abolition of NHS England to include assessment of (a) patient safety risks during the transition, (b) impact on delivery of (i) the 10-year plan and (ii) ongoing programmes and (c) (A) redundancy costs, (B) projected savings and (C) other financial implications. Answered by Karin Smyth - Minister of State (Department of Health and Social Care) The Government is committed to transparency and evidence-based policy making. In line with established best practice for impact assessments, we will publish proportionate assessments to support these reforms. Where appropriate, assessments will be published alongside relevant consultations or decisions to enable scrutiny by Parliament and the public. These will be proportionate to the scale of the reform, and will support decision-making with clear evidence, analysis of options, and consideration of affected groups. Financial information, including any redundancy costs, projected savings, and other material implications, will be disclosed in line with Government reporting requirements and transparency commitments.
NHS England Asked by: Andrew George (Liberal Democrat - St Ives) Monday 1st December 2025 Question to the Department of Health and Social Care: To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what his planned timetable is for publication of a formal impact assessment on the abolition of NHS England. Answered by Karin Smyth - Minister of State (Department of Health and Social Care) We will publish an impact assessment as part of the material to accompany the required primary legislation which will be brought forward when parliamentary time allows. Work is progressing at pace to develop the design and operating model for the new integrated organisation, and to plan for the smooth transfer of people, functions, and responsibilities. It is only right that with such significant reform, we commit to carefully assessing and understanding the potential impacts, as is due process. These ongoing assessments will inform our programme as appropriate. The Government is committed to transparency and will consider how best to ensure that the public and parliamentarians are informed of the outcomes.

Select Committee Inquiry
12 Dec 2025 Delivering the Neighbourhood Health Service: Estates Health and Social Care Committee (Select) Submit Evidence (by 13 Feb 2026) The Committee is holding an inquiry into what is needed from the NHS estate to deliver the Government’s vision of a ‘Neighbourhood Health Service’ — shifting care from hospitals to integrated, preventative services in local communities. Currently, 11% of the NHS estate is older than the NHS itself and many providers report that ageing premises are unsuitable to deliver community health services. The Committee’s inquiry will examine the physical infrastructure requirements to realise this shift, which includes the establishment of ‘Neighbourhood Health Centres’ in every community. It will explore whether current estate plans, funding and leasing systems, and delivery models are suitable, as well as the risks and opportunities of Public-Private Partnerships. This includes lessons from past models such as PFI. The inquiry will assess how existing NHS buildings can be repurposed, the role of new builds, and the use of non-NHS spaces to deliver the community-based care. It will consider the needs of all communities, including those in rural or underserved areas. The Committee invites written evidence from Friday 12 December until 11.59pm on Friday 13 February.

The Committee’s inquiry will examine the physical infrastructure requirements to realise this shift, which includes the establishment of ‘Neighbourhood Health Centres’ in every community.
