ONE of the revelations in the recently released register of ministers’ interests is that a current health minister’s wife’s job is to get people out of the NHS and into private hospitals.
The latest register of ministers’ interests, which shows potential conflicts of interest in the government, took a year to appear. The register has attracted attention because of questions about whether it properly reflects Prime Minister Rishi Sunak’s wife’s interest in his childcare funding plan.
Sunak has a scheme to expand childcare by offering a £1,200 bonus to people who register as childminders. But they only get the bonus if they register through one of six private childminder agencies.
