Debate between Wes Streeting and Pippa Heylings

Tuesday 25th November 2025 Commons Chamber

[Wes Streeting]

Yes, Mr Speaker. [Interruption.] Opposition Members do not like to hear it, but we are bringing waiting lists down for the first time in 15 years, patient satisfaction with general practice is rising, and we are delivering the investment, modernisation and change the country voted for.

[Pippa Heylings (South Cambridgeshire) (LD)]

T9. Two weeks ago, when I asked the Government whether they had had discussions with the Cambridgeshire integrated care board on the 16,000-strong petition to save beds at the Arthur Rank hospice, I was informed that it would not be possible to provide a response within the usual time period. I have a simpler request today: will the Minister meet me and the new Central East integrated care board to discuss how to identify need and strategically commission beds?
