I thank my hon. Friend for her question, and for championing the brilliant hospitality sector, businesses and markets in her constituency—I have the wonderful Halifax borough market in my constituency, so I know the importance of thriving traders to our high streets and local economies. I would be more than happy to meet my hon. Friend and hear her thoughts on how we can work together to restore pride in our high streets; our traders are vital to that, which is why our high streets strategy this year will be so important. It will look at all those areas, directly investing in our communities to ensure local businesses can thrive, high streets bustle and pride is restored to our high streets and communities.

Through the medium-term planning framework published in October 2025, we set out expectations for improving access to ADHD services. We will continue to work with trusts to ensure people with ADHD or suspected ADHD receive support. I am more than happy to meet the APPG to discuss these matters further.

I know my hon. Friend is a great believer in Leigh and Atherton’s untapped potential, and so are we. We have launched the small business strategy, with action on late payments, action to unlock access to finance, and better, simpler support through the business growth hub. In addition to that, Leigh will receive £20 million through the pride in place programme.

The Secretary of State was telling me just this morning what a wonderful visit she had to Golborne All Saints Catholic primary and pre-school, and about the amazing practice there. The review is looking closely at what affects children’s learning in mainstream schools, including those with SEND, ADHD and those without a formal diagnosis, making sure that every pupil can access a broad and balanced curriculum.

We will absolutely do that. The child poverty taskforce, which includes Ministers from across Government, had a specific session on children with disabilities and special educational needs, including with families and the charities that fight so hard to deliver improvements. We are committed to ensuring that every child—no matter where they are born or their ability or what their parents did—must be given an equal start in life.

I will certainly join my hon. Friend in thanking shop workers in her constituency and right across the country, who were often on the frontline during the covid pandemic. Sadly, during that period and since then, they have seen a disgraceful increase in assaults and abuse. We cannot stand for that, which is why we are not only introducing stronger neighbourhood policing—particularly in town centres—but bringing in the new law on assaults against shop workers as part of the Crime and Policing Bill. What a shame the Conservative party voted against it.

I absolutely agree with my hon. Friend. The Victims Minister and I chair the violence against women and girls cross-government board, which meets very regularly. It has led to our violence against women and girls strategy, which sits within that. It is an expert group that helps us on policy. It includes local government, the voluntary sector, the police and other members of civil society.

I wholeheartedly join my hon. Friend in thanking Pam and everyone at Compassion in Action for the work that they do. Working with the voluntary sector, employers, trade unions, community groups and all of us as individual citizens is vital for tackling health inequalities and improving care in our country. I would be delighted to ensure that one of the team pays a visit to the charity as soon as possible.

It was a pleasure to see my hon. Friend and see how tirelessly she was championing and supporting her local constituents after such a devastating flood. Concerns around flood insurance have been raised, so the floods resilience taskforce is setting up an insurance sub-group, through which some of its members will deep-dive into the challenges and opportunities for improvement on flood defences. If she has any further evidence that she would like me to look at, it would be very helpful to receive it.

My hon. Friend is a great champion of the social enterprise sector. She will know that we are committed to doubling the size of the co-op and mutuals sector. We recently met the recently launched mutuals and co-op business council to begin working with businesses on our plans to expand the co-op and mutuals sector. She may also be aware that our social enterprise boost fund is currently spending some £4 million on helping to support social enterprises that are already up and running.

We are setting ambitious and stretching targets for direct spend on SMEs, reviewing our framework contracts to ensure they are more accessible to SMEs, and using AI to streamline procurement. The Procurement Act 2023 aims to remove some of these challenges.

My hon. Friend raises a really important point. NHS England is due to complete a stocktake of long covid services throughout England at the end of this month. That will provide an accurate in-depth overview of not only long covid services but ME/CFS—myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome—services. The stocktake will provide a comprehensive and accurate national picture, identify key challenges and make strategic recommendations for future service improvement, development and assurance.

We are determined to put rocket boosters under grassroots societies and venues. We are supporting music venues, voluntary action around a levy, and channeling funding to smaller organisations to create a pipeline of talent enabling local success.

I agree that public sector procurement can drive societal change. We are consulting on a new national procurement policy statement that sets out expectations around mission delivery and social value, aiming to open up opportunities for communities across the UK.

We are ending waste and cronyism by bringing forward a new national procurement policy statement under the Procurement Act 2023, which will deliver a mission-led regime focusing on value for money, economic growth, and social value. Steps have been taken to cut wasteful consultancy spending and appoint a covid counter-fraud commissioner.

I completely agree with what my hon. Friend was about to say.

Agrees, pays tribute to Medics4Ukraine. UK's Defence Medical Services at forefront in Ukraine's military healthcare system development. Provided training for battlefield surgical teams and medical equipment. Willing to meet with founder to discuss further support.

I thank my hon. Friend; how nice it is to see her back in her place in this House. Of course, collaboration will be key to tackling antisocial behaviour. In line with our manifesto, we will be introducing powerful new respect orders, giving the police greater powers to get persistent antisocial offenders off our streets. We will also introduce zero tolerance zones through a form of expedited public space protection orders, to prevent antisocial street drinking or local drug dealing, for example, from blighting particular areas.
