Health secretary
Andrew Lansley faced angry protesters outside Downing St – spearheaded by vocal former NHS union representative June Hautot, 75 – as
David Cameron went ahead with a highly-criticised summit on planned reforms.
No 10 faced deep criticism for failing to release the guest list to today’s meeting on the health and social care bill, with eight royal colleges saying they were not invited and health unions almost totally excluded.
Mr Lansley, the main architect of the bill, was almost prevented from entering Downing St altogether by a group of demonstrators.
