Adult Social Care & Health Select Committee

Marc sits on the Adult Social Care and Health Select Committee at RBKC. This is the committee he specifically sought when joining the council, and the reason is straightforward: his entire professional career has been spent at the intersection of clinical science, healthcare systems, and patient outcomes.

The committee scrutinises the council's adult social care commissioning, its partnerships with NHS bodies, and its approach to the health and wellbeing of older and vulnerable residents across the Borough.

What Marc brings to this committee

• A PhD in Clinical Neuroscience and deep familiarity with neurological and degenerative conditions that disproportionately affect older adults.
• Direct experience of pharmaceutical drug development, clinical trials, and the route from research to patient benefit.
• An understanding of NHS structures, commissioning frameworks, and the pressure points where local government can intervene effectively.
• A commitment to evidence-based commissioning rather than decisions driven by budget cycles alone.

Priority areas

Marc is particularly focused on the quality and consistency of dementia care provision across RBKC, the integration of health and social care pathways, and ensuring that the council's most vulnerable residents are not lost in the gap between NHS and local authority responsibility.

He is also attentive to the broader public health picture, including air quality, green space access, and the social determinants of health that fall within the council's direct control.
