So Matt Hancock is no longer minister for Health in UK government and Sajid Javid is now the new Health Minister.
The MP for West Suffolk Mr. Hancock would seem to me (and many others) to have been a disastrous Minister of Health and without the successful vaccine rollout we'd be in a very poor position, this managed by Kate Bingham has gone well.
How much credit is due to Dame Kate Bingham (another member of the Conservative party's inner circle) is not clear but allegations around her behaviour seem to be less than many involved in the ruling party -perhaps she would make a better NHS England boss than the proven failure Dame Dido Harding?
Hancock as well as breaking his own rules has broken ministerial codes and until the affair he was having was revealed was labelled by Tory Chief Johnson as 'F**king Hopeless' - to me it was rather odd to find that as his clinch with adviser he appointed was revealed he finally got the PM's full backing.
What I have wondered since the virus became an issue in the UK is why we've chosen not to see what works in in other countries and how we can learn - anyone know?
As throughout this awful Tory reign (not only under Johnson but far worse with him) Politics has taken precedence over health and the state of the economy - I think Johnson has chose Javid to run the Health portfolio for Political reasons rather than capability - Hunt and Gove both ruled out but he may regret getting the ex-chancellor back in the tent - time will tell, my personal thoughts are that the pay and status of Health workers needs to be improved across the board.
