Cystic Fibrosis: Living Costs

Proceeding contribution from Kerry McCarthy (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 2 February 2023. It occurred during Backbench debate on Cystic Fibrosis: Living Costs.

My hon. Friend mentioned anxiety. As many people will know, I have a niece with CF, who has just turned 18. She is very much at the healthy end of the spectrum, which is good, but there comes a point, particularly with access to social media, when young people start to learn that they have a life-limiting condition. They learn far more about it than they perhaps would have done in the days when they would have relied on their parents to tell them about it and at a time when their parents thought they could handle it. Supporting them from a mental health point of view while they are going through that is really important too.
