Dame Rosie, in the words of “South Pacific”, if we ain’t got dames, where would we be? In November 2021, Boris Johnson appointed Chris to co-chair a programme board for a national strategy on acquired brain injury. This issue is cross-party and matters greatly; however, despite months passing, there has been no progress due to reasons such as ministerial churn and lack of funding. How can we ensure that regardless of who forms the government later this year, there will be a national strategy for acquired brain injury?

I thank the Secretary of State for visiting Southend Hospital last month. She knows that, when I was elected, ambulance handover times in Southend were the worst in the region. They are now often the best, and the emergency village is helping thousands of residents. She also helped to launch the first trust-wide fracture liaison service in the UK in Southend, which will save thousands of fractures, millions of pounds and thousands of bed days.

Friend’s Department, Oxleas NHS Foundation Trust and other partners locally to deliver new services for patients in Old Bexley and Sidcup. Will my right hon. Friend join me today in thanking all the teams and all staff at Queen Mary’s Hospital in Sidcup?

Question

Dame Rosie, I thank you for your service to this Chamber. Will my right hon. Friend recall the conversations that we have been having about a community diagnostic centre in South Derbyshire, where we do not have one? We do not have a hospital; everybody has to travel. Could I invite her, not only during the next six weeks but after the six weeks—when she is back at that Dispatch Box and I am back here—to visit us and talk to the great teachers, doctors and nurses that want to put this project together?
