BIONIC MP Craig Mackinlay received a standing ovation as he walked into the Commons chamber for the first time in months yesterday.
After contracting sepsis in September last year, the 57-year-old was rushed to hospital and put into a 16-day induced coma.
His wife was told he only had a five per cent chance of survival.
But Mr Mackinlay made a stunning recovery after having both his legs and arms amputated.
At PMQs the MP for South Thanet said: "This is an emotional day for me.
From tongue scraping to saying no, here are 12 health trends to try in 2023
“I have got trainers on because my shoes wouldn't go over the plastic feet and my jacket wouldn't go over the bionic arm, so apologies for that."
He added: “I would like to thank is the Prime Minister, who has been with me throughout.
“He hasn't advertised it, he has been to see me multiple times, and to me that shows the true depth of the character of the Prime Minister and thank you for that."
Mr Mackinlay called on Mr Sunak to “ensure that we embed recognition of early signs of sepsis”.
In the chamber the PM responded: "It is so wonderful to hear from him.
"Without getting into all the details I will just say that he is right, the NHS itself has recognised this morning that more needs to be done, and I can assure him that we will do that."
