- It was Andrew Lansley (remember him?), who promised us “no decision about me without me” before foisting the biggest ever market reforms on an unwitting NHS (we were promised no major reorganisation in the 2010 manifesto). https://www.onmedica.com/BlogView.aspx?blogId=9066227d-7bcb-49a7-bdfb-d69161a4bf6e&postId=5cb5a163-63c7-455c-baa3-10de42030f16

- Jan.26.2017: Free tickets for the gravy train: Whitehall committee that NEVER says no to ministers cashing in. Lord Lansley, old job: Health Secretary who oversaw NHS reforms including handing over budgets to GPs; new job: Adviser to pharmaceutical giant Roche. Acoba itself is aware of the problem.

She said the watchdog had neither ‘the resources nor the remit’ to make the significant changes required.

- Nov.18.2014: Named and shamed: The govt MPs profiting from NHS sell-off. Andrew Lansley, former Health Secretary & architect of privatisation, received a £21,000 donation in Nov.2009 from John Nash, then chairman of Care UK plc. Proving that corruption played a huge part in the introduction of private firms into the NHS: 71 Coalition MPs (64 Tories / 7 LibDems) acted dishonestly in claiming that the change was for the good for the country, when in fact they meant it was good for themselves. How many of them declared a clear conflict of interest when voting in favour of the Health and Social Care Act in 2012? None. Mike Sivier, Vox Political.
- And then, in 2012, came Andrew Lansley’s Healthcare Bill, which effectively absolves the Health Minister of his statutory duty to provide effective medical care to everyone.
