Labour and public health experts repeatedly warned Andrew Lansley that axing the annual flu awareness campaign would have severe consequences. Now patients may have paid the highest price for his inability to listen.
Hopefully the preferred contractor for the new Alder Hey will be announced in a matter of weeks and not months.
Andrew Lansley should act on this excellent set of robust recommendations, but his track record suggests that he will once again ignore the advice of our best medical experts
What is not acceptable is to sign the certificates without knowing who is the woman to which it relates
It would appear that Andrew Lansley [the health secretary] has made up his mind before the consultation has even been launched on Monday ... We do think that the total process is a total farce.
We all have a role to play – from individuals to public, private and non-governmental organisations – if we are going to cut five billion calories from our national diet. It is an ambitious challenge but the responsibility deal has made a great start.
We know Andrew Lansley, our health secretary here, says that talking to Nicola Roxon was one of the things that inspired him to have a consultation on plain packaging
This pledge is just the start of what must be a bigger, broader commitment from the food industry. But it is a great step in the right direction and will help million of us eat and drink fewer calories.
The Health Secretary Andrew Lansley calls gender abortions ‘immoral’ and ‘illegal.’ But we need to hear from him why it is immoral and illegal to abort a little girl — it usually will be a girl — or a boy on grounds of gender, but legal and moral in every other case.
We’re dealing with all this quickly ... If there is evidence of an offence we will give it directly to the police.
