UK Health Secretary Matt Hancock owns a large number of shares in a company which has been awarded National Health Service contracts. But according to the Department of Health and Social Care (the ministry he heads), he has behaved “entirely properly”.
Has he, though? Has he really? If so then the state’s definition of acceptable behaviour for government ministers and the general public’s definition thereof must be at least a million miles apart.
True it may be that by the Augean standards of government procurement scandals this one is relatively small beer.
It goes like this: Hancock has a 15 per cent shareholding in his sister’s company Topwood Ltd, which specialises in waste disposal services. This year it won a £300,000 contract from NHS Wales and it also has ‘approved status’ to provide services to NHS England too, though so far it hasn’t won any contracts.
