Navigating the challenging waters of health-related anxiety, especially after being diagnosed with a blood clot, can feel overwhelming.

Written questions allow MPs and Members of the House of Lords to ask for information on the work, policy and activities of Government departments, related bodies, and the administration of Parliament. Oral or written statements to Parliament are also made by the Government and others to inform both Houses of their work.
