Business of the House

Debate between Siobhain McDonagh and Lindsay Hoyle

Thursday 2nd July 2026 Commons Chamber

[Mr Speaker]

Order. We need to end this session by around 11.45 am, so let’s help each other. I call Siobhain McDonagh to set a good example.

[Dame Siobhain McDonagh (Mitcham and Morden) (Lab)]

St Helier hospital has the fourth best maternity unit in the country, the only exclusively NHS-run assisted conception unit in south-west London, and a specialist gynaecology ward where nurses are highly trained in counselling. Yet all that is set to close next May because of the need for emergency repairs. Could the Leader of the House find time for a debate on those vital services, and whether they be temporarily relocated somewhere else on the St Helier site and returned to the current building on completion of the repairs?
