Knowsley North and Sefton East has a disproportionately high number of public health problems. Many of these are linked to health and safety at work as well as environmental factors.
I have led debates in the Commons on a number of specific issues relating to health and safety as well as highlighting some of the pioneering medical care that is delivered within the consituency. These include:
George tables a Bill to improve health and safety education for young people
George tables a Ten Minute Rule Bill in Parliament that requires principles of health and safety to be included in education and training curricula in schools, colleges and relevant university courses as well as in work. Read the full debate in Hansard here.
Refractory angina
George leads a debate in Westminster Hall calling for better provision for refractory angina patients. Read the full debate in Hansard here.
I have also raised the unusually high incidence of cancer in Kirkby and the Sonae plant in Parliament.
