Last week I posted about the different way in which party political narratives about NHS reforms may develop. I expect a very different kind of debate now that the Government may have the ability to communicate some form of message about what it is trying to achieve.
I have also had some interesting discussions with people about my own experience with 2 different Secretaries of State between the years 2001-2005. In 2003, two years into a Parliament, Alan Milburn resigned from the Secretary of State for Health’s job and was replaced by John Reid. I stayed on as special adviser.
