Proceeding contribution from Vikki Slade (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 15 September 2026. It occurred during Backbench debate on Sepsis Awareness Month.


Sepsis Awareness Month

I too pay tribute to Lord Mackinlay because when Hamish’s story made the papers, he did not hesitate to visit Hamish, an 18-year-old, and help him through his recovery. When I first met Lord Mackinlay myself in Buckingham Palace when we had just been elected, I went to him and said, “What a hero. What an incredible man to do that every time a similar case happens.”
