David Cameron, who served as the UK Prime Minister from 2010 to 2016, made a surprising return to government in November 2023 when he was appointed Foreign Secretary under Prime Minister Rishi Sunak. To take on the role, he was granted a peerage, becoming Lord Cameron of Chipping Norton, and took a seat in the House of Lords. His tenure as Foreign Secretary lasted until July 2024, during which he played a key role in shaping the UK’s foreign policy and diplomatic relations.
NHS Doctors Warn of 'Irreparable Harm' as Government Defends Health Reforms
- Tuesday, 04 October 2011
Leading public health doctors, including nearly 400 experts, warn that changes to the NHS in England will cause irreparable harm to patient care and safety. They claim the reforms will fragment services, threaten vaccination and screening campaigns, and undermine the ability of the health system to respond effectively to communicable disease outbreaks and other public health emergencies. The government insists the reforms will give patients more choice and have accepted recommendations from a group of top doctors and NHS experts to improve the Health Bill. However, many health professionals, including the Royal College of Nursing and British Medical Association, continue to express opposition to the changes, warning they could cause damage to the NHS.
