The Prime Minister confirmed to me today that he raised the case of my constituent, Jagtar Singh Johal, arbitrarily detained in India for 8 years now, during his meeting with Prime Minister Modi in India.

It's time he is released immediately & returned home to his family in Dumbarton.

More research and awareness of postural tachycardia syndrome (PoTs) is needed across the UK.

At the debate on support for people with PoTs, I highlighted how my constituents; Ewan, Robert & Louise, all raised with me the unacceptably lengthy waiting times for a PoTs diagnosis.
