After hearing that Care UK gave £21,000 to his private office Heather said “How can he continue as shadow health secretary supposedly supporting the NHS when it appears that a private health company is helping to shape Tory health policy? It is ridiculous for David Cameron to suggest that the Tories are the party of the NHS when his shadow health secretary is being financed by the private health sector. If there is not a clear unquestionable purpose why this money was given it should be refunded immediately.”
