Oral Answers to Questions

Markus Campbell-Savours Excerpts

Tuesday 20th October 2026 Commons Chamber

[Karin Smyth]

I recently met the hon. Member, and as he knows, we are absolutely committed to working with the local system to do that. I absolutely commit to updating him as soon as possible if he is not aware of where we are on that. I will get something back to him very quickly.

[Markus Campbell-Savours (Penrith and Solway) (Lab)]

For those considering suicide, the message must be that there is always another way, but with new Office for National Statistics data showing that the rate of suicide in Cumberland has increased yet again, would Ministers meet me and Cumbrian Members to ensure that our health system is providing support to all when they need it?

[Alison McGovern]

I thank my hon. Friend for that important question. On such an important issue, I will of course meet him. We have had a number of very important debates on this issue, which shows how important Members across the House think this is.
