National Health Service: 75th Anniversary - Motion to Take Note (30 Nov 2023)

Baroness Hodgson of Abinger: ...that it is “no longer feasible” to be just a GP, despite an average salary of over £100,000 a year. Many doctors now do not know their patients.

International Development Strategy - Motion to Take Note (16 Dec 2021)

Baroness Hodgson of Abinger: ...core agenda of promoting freedom and democracy cannot happen without freedom for women.” Covid has exacerbated existing gender inequalities, pushing women’s rights backwards.

Social Care in England - Motion to Take Note (14 Oct 2021)

Baroness Hodgson of Abinger: ....” Yet the model in the UK seems to be moving away from this. This appears to be detrimental not only to patients but to doctors.

In some developing countries, where good national laws are introduced to tackle these injustices, the laws are not accessible to many as local justice...

Role of Women in Public Life - Motion to Take Note ( 5 Feb 2018)

Baroness Hodgson of Abinger: .... Thus they do not get promoted, or choose to leave the industry. Some women choose to return to the workplace when their children are older but often it is hard for them to get employed in a job that matches their ability. We know that having women involved in the policy conversation and in decision-making positions makes a difference, as many issues impact differently on women, who are,...

We have a duty of care to all those who have put themselves forward to do what is at times a difficult and dangerous job.

Armed Forces: Capability - Motion to Take Note (12 Jan 2017)

Baroness Hodgson of Abinger: ...’ House earlier this week. Perhaps we should do more to recognise the strain that military life places on families. It is with the support of their families that our military are able to do their jobs, and we in turn need to do all we can to support them and make their lives easier. Tomorrow’s future warfare is hard to predict in such a fast-changing and interconnected world. We must...

Children and Social Work Bill [HL] - Second Reading (14 Jun 2016)

Baroness Hodgson of Abinger: ...challenging. To have access to a confidential, non-judgmental source of help could save a lot of anguish and expense further down the line. I have deep respect for social workers and the difficult job they do. However, because they are in some cases able to advise that children should be removed from their homes, does this not lead to a reluctance for parents to engage with them? While a...

Global Development Goals — Motion to Take Note (11 Dec 2014)

It is important, therefore, that the progress made is strongly acknowledged and celebrated, but this is not a job finished; this is work in progress.

Baroness Hodgson of Abinger: ...countries across the region have an embedded patriarchal culture, but over the past decades progress has been made in many places, with more women receiving education and holding down professional jobs. However, the turbulent events of the past few years have caused this progress to stall. Initially, the Arab spring offered so much hope for this momentum of progress for women to be built...
