Does the health secretary need to be … healthy?
The Medical Minefield team explore the topic of politicians as role models in light of the recent comments regarding the new Health Secretary, Thérèse Coffey’s lifestyle habits and weight. We hear from Sophie Corcoran, broadcaster at GB News, who says that while Coffey is a great politician, she's not setting a good example; from former Health Minister Edwina Currie, who say Coffey has the brains to do the job - and that's all that matters. Meanwhile, Mail on Sunday GP columnist Dr Ellie Cannon says the crucial concern about the new Health Sec has nothing to do with her lifestyle, but her voting record.
