National Voices at Party Conferences

As part of the process of developing engagement with the three main political parties National Voices was represented at the three party conferences by Co-Chair, Jeremy Hughes, and LTCA Chief Executive, David Pink.

Both David and Jeremy have met with government Ministers and opposition spokesmen on health and social care, using the opportunities to raise the profile of the new organisation and press for cross-party support in the early stage of its development. They have also lobbied each party to commit to ensuring that National Voices is fully engaged and consulted as we move into a new parliamentary session, and towards a general election.

Support from the three parties has been excellent, with supporting references to National Voices being made in both the main and fringe conference speeches, and included David Pink making a brief presentation on National Voices on the main floor of the Conservative Party conference.
