Kerry McCarthy MP: speeches
4 Jul 2026–16 Oct 2026 · year in progress
How these years work
Our reporting years run from 4 July to 3 July, starting with the 2024 general election. They are not official parliamentary sessions. Office costs keep IPSA’s April–March financial years. Records may cover only part of a year; a missing record does not mean no work was done.

I appreciate the Government’s plans to upgrade the NHS estate, but the heatwaves are happening now, and staff and patients are enduring unbearable conditions: wards without air conditioning, temperatures of more than 30°, radiotherapy machines and MRI scanners failing, IT servers overheating, and so on. And that is all happening alongside many more hospital admissions. What are the Government currently doing to ensure that safe patient care can still be provided this summer and that staff are able to do their jobs properly, too?
