With the NHS going through a particularly difficult period, it’s no surprise that punters are rating Health Secretary Steve Barker as the best chance to emerge from the next cabinet.
Several front pages this morning focused on struggling services with advice not to return to “normalcy” until after Easter. This means that people who need urgent care will have to wait longer. People will die prematurely.
I always think that the role of Health Secretary in a Conservative government is probably the most challenging because the Tories are not as ideologically supportive of the NHS as other parties. It takes a very smart Tory politician, like Jeremey Hunt a few years ago, to bring it to life.
What we are paying for now is what happened when Osborne was Chancellor.
