In Parliament: Health & Social Care Question
At Health and Social Care Questions in Parliament on Tuesday, I asked the Secretary of State, Steve Barclay MP, to deliver urgent support for disabled people in West Derby and across the UK who are having to cut back on their use of medical equipment at home due to rising energy bills.
I asked the Secretary of State the following:
“Thirty per cent of disabled people, including many of my constituents in West Derby, are having to cut back on using their essential medical equipment at home due to rising energy bills.
“Seventy thousand people have signed the charity Sense’s petition calling for long term, ongoing support for disabled people and their families.
“Will the Secretary of State deliver this support as a matter of urgency?”
You can watch me asking this question in Parliament on my YouTube page.
