motion: <p class="indent" pid="b146.0/2" pwmotiontext="yes">That an humble Address be presented to Her Majesty, that she will be graciously pleased to give directions that the following papers be laid before Parliament: any briefing papers or analysis provided to the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care or his Ministers since <phrase class="date" code="2019-07-09">9 July</phrase> 2018 including impact assessments of public health spending reductions and any assessments made on falling life expectancy and the minutes of all discussions between the Department of Health and Social Care and NHS England on funding pay risks for Agenda for Change staff working on public health services commissioned by local authorities.</p>
  
  <p class="indent" pid="b146.2/2" pwmotiontext="yes">&#8220;In 2001, women born in the 10% most affluent areas could expect to live 6.1 years longer than women born in the 10% most deprived areas; by 2016, the gap stood at 7.9 years.&#8221;</p>
  
  <p class="indent" pid="b148.0/2" pwmotiontext="yes">&#8220;Since 2010, this rate of increase has halved. Indeed, the increase has more or less ground to a halt.&#8221;</p>
  
  <p class="indent" pid="b148.0/4" pwmotiontext="yes">The first thing to say is that we have not reached peak life expectancy. A levelling off is not inevitable. In the Nordic countries, in Japan, in Hong Kong, life expectancy is greater than ours and continues to increase.&#8221;</p>
  
  <p class="indent" pid="b148.4/4" pwmotiontext="yes">&#8220;withering on the vine as councils are forced to redeploy funding to other areas&#8221;</p>
  
  <p class="indent" pid="b149.1/4" pwmotiontext="yes">&#8220;This is crazy. It makes conversations between GPs and patients very difficult. They say, &#8220;you tell me that I need to lose weight, but the only help you can give me is advice and a diet sheet printed off Google.&#8221;</p>
  
  <p class="indent" pid="b149.1/6" pwmotiontext="yes">&#8220;You try to refer someone for bariatric surgery but they can only have it if they&#8217;ve undergone 12 months of a weight management programme&#8212;but there isn&#8217;t one.&#8221;</p>
  
  <p class="indent" pid="b150.3/3" pwmotiontext="yes">&#8220;We are seeing neonatal syphilis for the first time in decades and neonatal deaths due to syphilis in the UK&#8230;We are seeing an increase in women who are presenting with infectious syphilis in pregnancy, and that has dire outcomes.&#8221;</p>
  
  <p class="indent" pid="b164.0/8" pwmotiontext="yes">&#8220;I found going to many psychologists that it just wasn&#8217;t working for me, I didn&#8217;t like the by the book exercises and help they would give me and treat my case like every other person as I believed it had to be adapted specifically for me. After several psychologists I tried this one amazing person that I had heard was great for anxiety. Me being me I said I&#8217;d try it because&#8221;&#8212;</p>
  
  <p class="indent" pid="b164.0/10" pwmotiontext="yes">&#8220;to get rid of my feelings of anxiety, I thought how this will be any different to what I have been through before, well I was wrong. This changed my life. They have helped me so much and have been the best support system.&#8221;</p>
  
  <p class="indent" pid="b172.1/4" pwmotiontext="yes">&#8220;moderately-strong evidence for an association between screen time and depressive symptoms.&#8221;</p>
  
  <p class="indent" pid="b172.1/8" pwmotiontext="yes">&#8220;There is a danger that we continue to have a system that fails to help children until they are so unwell that they need specialist intervention.&#8221;</p>
  
  <p class="indent" pid="b188.0/12" pwmotiontext="yes">&#8220;sexual health services are at crisis point&#8221;.</p>
