I am extremely grateful for this opportunity to have a short debate on what is an extremely serious topic for my constituents. Over the autumn, I prepared 30,000 fairly detailed surveys, which were delivered across Taunton Deane by volunteers who were willing to help me. I asked questions on a...

As I was saying, I was also pleased to read in the survey conducted by the hon. Member for Taunton that nine in 10 Taunton residents rejected the suggestion that the NHS wastes money. Of course, in 1997 the NHS suffered from massive underinvestment. We have more than doubled spending...

Surely the genuine concern is about pregnant women's diet. All the health evidence shows that that must be tackled early in pregnancy or even before pregnancy to have an impact.
