PCC provide oral evidence to Health Committee

The PCC were called to provide oral evidence to the Health Committee yesterday, Thursday 29 January 2026, following PCC’s Submission to the Committee on the Adult Protection Bill in October 2025.

Our submission and oral evidence sought to address the challenges and represent the issues of key importance to the PCC, based on our direct experience of listening to, and working with, the public in the context of the statutory role PCC holds within the Health and Social Care system and the interests of the public we represent.

Background information:
